Greenwich Borough boss Barnes – We are playing for third spot in Bostik League South Division

By Richard Cawley

Greenwich Borough manager Paul Barnes has written off his side’s hopes of an automatic promotion slot in the Bostik League South Division after Saturday’s 2-1 home reverse to Hythe Town.

The South London club are at home to Thamesmead Town tonight and lie fourth in the standings.

Barnes – when asked about the chances of a top-two finish – said: “Honestly I think it is out of sight now, I believe Lewes and Carshalton have secured those places as they are too far ahead and won’t drop a sizeable amount of points. I believe we are playing for third now.”

Barnes won the Manager of the Month award for March.
“Being recognised for the Manager of the Month Award was very flattering and hugely appreciated, I was not even aware of it until I received a text message from someone congratulating me, I had to ask why they were.
“I said on social media and I will say it again, for me, this award is never going to be an individual award, its credit to all my players and staff for their hard work and application over a period. As flattering as it is, I would swap the award and many more to get Greenwich Borough promoted and help the club, staff and players achieve something special, that would mean more then any individual accolade.”
