A Few Words With Ashford Captain Rob Clarkson After Ashford Secured Promotion Back To Division 2
Congratulations today’s victory over Avoca has ensured Ashford bounce straight back to Division 2 with two games to spare! 9 out of 9 league, wins how are you all feeling after that?
Bang on Bill 
You lost arguably your finest talisman in Brian Coen to a bad injury at a crunch time in the league but still managed to keep the wins coming. Who do you feel really stepped up to replace such a talented and experienced player?
Coen was definitely a major loss for us he would be one of our main forwards and leader on the pitch ,every man really stepped it up it in training and the work rate has been excellent especially from the forwards Cormac Doyle and Ross Quinn have been putting in serious shift and having Brendan Manning’s wand of a left foot (and right) is a serious advantage
Rob you scored who’d have predicted that
Did you feel like you were all in a hidden camera show when it happened?
Haha I think everyone on and off the pitch was as shocked as me ..they normally come off the shin 
What’s the outlook for you heading into the Championship?
Great to win it but we have to take it game by game
