BOBBY LEADING A TUDORS ERA!

BOBBY WILKINSON isn't going to say no to Hemel Hempstead Town sitting top of the National League South going into the FA Cup break - but he'd rather not be at the summit just yet!

The Tudors beat fellow high-flyers Slough Town 1-0 last weekend to extend their unbeaten start to the campaign to six wins and two draws from their opening eight games.

Former Hungerford Town, Wealdstone, Bracknell Town and Weymouth boss Wilkinson completely overhauled the squad in the summer with 17 new arrivals.

The early signs are certainly positive but there's no getting carried away in Hertfordshire.

"I've got some very good people around me, experienced players, and I think they understand how I roll," Wilkinson, whose side took on Bishop's Stortford in the FA Cup second round qualifying yesterday, said. "It's not how you start it's how you finish and I made that clear in the first meeting.

"You're never going to say no to a good start. We could lose our next seven.

But what it still means is we've had a good start.
