Hythe Town manager Scott Porter says his side are looking forward to returning to home comforts this weekend.

Town are back at Reachfields on Saturday after four straight away games, the latest a 1-0 defeat at ambitious Whitehawk last Saturday.

They have taken 11 Ryman League, Division 1 South points from seven games at home but just seven from eight on the road and Porter is thrilled to return to the coast to host Walton & Hersham.

He said: "We have had a tough time with the four away trips. They were all against good teams, and I can’t wait to get back home."

It will be Town’s first game at Reachfields since the FA Trophy win over Burgess Hill on October 22 and their first league game at home since October 15.

Porter (pictured) added: "We can learn a lot from the last four games. We conceded an early goal at Whitehawk but after that, there wasn’t anything between the teams.

"If you saw their reaction at the end you’d know we upset them and had them worried. We can build on that and hopefully take that into the next few games against teams in and around us."

Bendon Cass, Tom Parkinson and Aaron Lacey all return to the squad giving Porter a selection dilemma.
