IF City ran a goal-of-the-season competition Allan Davies would find himself among the contenders with not one but two efforts.

Not bad for a full back who took 75 plus games to register his first competitive strike for the club and whose goal tally stands at a meagre two.

But like all good things in life both strikes were well worth waiting for when they did arrive.

His first came in Worcester's 5-0 thrashing of Chelmsford in December, curling in a left footer, while Saturday's sweetly struck right foot shot was a marvel of timing and precision following an Adam Wilde short corner.

"It's always nice to score and even more so when they are memorable and stick out," said Davies.

It was second time lucky from the short corner routine because in the first half Davies had made a 40 yard lung-busting run only for Wilde to hit the ball long.

"We said we would it the first half but for some reason Adam changed his mind but he did it second time round and they either fly 20 feet over the bar or go in and luckily this went in," he added.

Davies does not set goal targets for the season - and considering the length of time it took to chalk up his first who can blame him - but admits he should be at least capable of generating a couple a season.

"Believe it or not I did actually used to score more - whether that is because I used to get further forward more often I don't know but people in general say you should score at least a couple a season," he added.

Blasting six past Folkestone has rekindled spirits in the City camp and it was all achieved without eight first teamers through injury and suspension.

That made the result even better according to Davies who himself has been struggling with a groin strain that has needed chiropractor treatment and prevented him from training in recent weeks.

"The win was a much-needed boost especially with the players we had out," said Davies.

"We've been getting to the stage where we've barely had a side and even though we have played quite well we've not had the results like at Stafford.

"It definitely meant a lot to get a win and to do it and score six goals at the same time is even better. To be fair to everyone involved I thought we did more than well considering the injuries we had."

City's title hopes may have slipped since the Tamworth win but Davies believes they can put together a strong end to the season and avoid a repeat of last year when they won only four of their last 12 matches culminating in five defeats in their last six games.

"I think we can turn it round and do the reverse of that. There's no reason why we can't go undefeated to the end of the season and finish as high as possible - that has to be our aim," he said.
