Didcot Town points loss 'harsh' - Ady Williams

Didcot Town boss Ady Williams says his side feel aggrieved to have lost six points due to their two wins against Windsor & Eton being expunged.

The Royalists folded last week because of an unpaid £240,000 tax bill, while Didcot are in the Zamaretto League Premier drop-zone in 19th place.

Williams, 39, told BBC Oxford: "It's outrageous. We knew it was coming but it's still a massive blow.

"To have six points taken away, it's harsh and a real sucker punch."

Williams added: "It's unfortunate for Windsor & Eton but I'm disappointed for the everyone involved with Didcot Town, including the chairman, the players and the fans."

The Railwaymen beat local rivals Oxford City 3-0 at Court Place Farm Stadium on Tuesday to sit above Weymouth and Halesowen by goal difference.

"The performance last night was fantastic and I'm delighted we scored three and kept a clean sheet," said Williams.

There's 16 games left and that's 16 cup finals, every game is a must win because there are a lot of points up for grabs.

"The lads put everything into the game, it was an improved performance.

"It's my job as manager to get the best out of these players individually and collectively so as long as there's progress I'm happy."

The victory was Williams' first since replacing Stuart Peace as Didcot boss in January, and the ex-Reading captain hopes the result will revive his side's league survival bid.

"There was a lot of pride up for grabs and confidence has been boosted," added the former Wales international.

"You've got to give credit to the team because it's difficult when a manager comes in.

"There's 16 games left and that's 16 cup finals, every game is a must win because there are a lot of points up for grabs.

"But if we play like that every game we can be a top side in this league."
