MANAGER Tony Gore says the pressure is off his Dudley Sports squad after a great start to the season.

Sports backed up an opening day victory over Wolverhampton Casuals with a superb 5-1 success against Smethwick Rangers last Saturday.

Goal machine Stuart Hillman bagged a brace at Hillcrest Avenue, his fifth in two games, to add to strikes from Aaron Gordon, Lucas Muckley and Shepherd Machingauta.

Gore said: “It has been amazing how it has all come together.

“There is a great atmosphere around the place and it is clear we have players with the right attitude after considerable changes. Everyone is training superbly well.

“Our good start takes the pressure off us now. It means we can go into the next few games and enjoy it and look to show what we can do again.”

Sports were due to face Tipton Town away tonight before welcoming Willenhall this Saturday.
