Bury St Edmunds, external head coach Ollie Smith says his side will be taking nothing for granted when they head to Henley Hawks in National League Two South, external tomorrow.

The Wolfpack have jumped up to sixth in the table after winning their last three matches.

"We know every single team on their day can beat anyone so we can't underestimate anyone. We've fallen foul of that already this season and I'll be damned if it happens again," said Smith.

"If we turn up with the right mindset then we are a match for anyone, but if we turn up and we're not on it that day then there's a good chance we'll get beaten.

"It's the way this level of rugby seems to work - it's as much about the attitude and mental preparation of players as the actual on-pitch technicalities and tactics."

"But moving her back into the forward line has been beneficial to the team, due to her ability to create something from very little."

It's not such good news for the wetland bird across East Anglia... there's been a slight drop in overall numbers on the Broads, The Fens and the Suffolk coast.
