“Regardless of who we play, our preparation is exactly the same and we treat all our opponents with the respect they deserve.
“Wivelsfield will go into the game with the attitude of having nothing to lose and I’m sure they will put in a determined performance.
“Therefore it is up to us to remain focused and show what we can do.”
