Doswell eager for the Hawks to Bank treble
Holiday hat-trick the goal as Westleigh Park outfit head for Tonbridge
PAUL DOSWELL is eyeing a Bank Holiday bonanza starting with the Hawks' trip to Tonbridge Angels in National League South tomorrow (3pm).
The Westleigh Park side face three games in eight days and the boss regards them all as winnable.
On Monday, former Hawks manager Lee Bradbury returns to the club with his Eastbourne Borough side.
Doswell's men will then visit Oxford City five days' later.
The Westleigh Park boss views it as an opportunity to build on a respectable start to the season.
The Hawks have collected nine points from their opening five fixtures, with two victories and three draws.
Doswell said: 'We've made a solid start and are unbeaten after five games.
'It would've been nice to have won one more.
'We've had a tough start playing mainly against some of the better sides in our league.
'Our next three games are against teams we feel we should be beating.
'We have virtually put a brand-new team together and I have to be happy with the way things are coming together.
'It is going to take time, though.
'In every game our performance levels have been good and we have displayed a clear identity in the way we want to play.
'The target is to average two points a game.
'If we can win our home games and pick up points away then we'll achieve that.
'After dropping two points against Chelmsford we need to win at Tonbridge.'
The Hawks have picked up four points from a possible six on the road so far this season.
They produced a thrilling second-half comeback to win 4-3 at Hampton & Richmond.
In their following away game, they earned a 1-1 draw at Dartford.
Tonbridge have won one and lost one of their two home games — following promotion to National League South. After their defensive debacle at Hampton, the Hawks have tightened up considerably at the back. They will be aiming for a third straight clean sheet when they do battle with Tonbridge tomorrow. An important factor in their improved security and The Hawks have collected nine points from five league games solidity at the back has been the inclusion of Simon Walton.
Doswell has been delighted with the way the former Leeds and QPR defender has adapted.
'I brought Simon in for his leadership and ability to read the game,' added Doswell.
'He has done well since coming in.
'Alhough he missed a penalty against Chelmsford he didn't let that affect his performance.'
