RAIN MAY have stopped play, but it is not going to stop the RAF SRT football juggernaut heading towards Inter-Services glory next month.

WO Andy Kuchta – the team’s head coach, who guided the side to the 2022 championship with 4-1 and 2-0 wins over the Army and Royal Navy respectively – is happy with where his side and players are, despite waterlogged pitches scuppering their last two warm-up matches.

He said: “We are all good to go, we lost the last couple of warm-up matches due to the weather, one against Wantage Town and the other versus Gedling Miners FC, but I do not think that will have any impact on us, we played a good match against Shifnal Town FC, losing 4-3.

“We got the chance to field some players I wanted to run my eye over and see the depth of the squad. We have lost a couple of old players, Cpl Dave Webb and Sgt Alex Wood stepping down, but it is all about looking at plan b and c. We have to consider all last-minute aspects.

“Operational demands, and the climate of strikes and so on, means we have lads who are on standby, we need to know who the next player we can call on is.”

Kuchta’s relaxed attitude comes

SRT INTERS FIXTURES: l Royal Navy v RAF SRT, HMS Temeraire, Portsmouth March 15, KO: 7PM l RAF SRT v Army, Montgomery Waters Meadow, Shrewsbury Town FC, Shrewsbury March 29, KO 7pm. after a mountain of work behind the scenes already done, while the comradeship across the squad means a lack of playing time is levelled out by simply being together as a unit.

He said: “The players know our philosophy, so now every time we meet, we get stronger as a group, we put in the foundations last year, it’s now tweaking, fine tuning.

“We still have our captain in Cpl Tom Claisse, he is a warrior, he is a leader, and across the group we have a nice blend of experience and youth.

“We strive for the standard we set last year, but we have to be realistic, the Army and Navy will react, fortunately we pipped them last year, but they will have a point to prove.

“They will come as strong as they can, and we have to be stronger. We respect them and it really is the best team wins on the day.”
