00:00OK, so we're here with Reg Hamley after Camelford's 3-2 victory at Launceston this afternoon.

00:08Reg, you must have been delighted with the comeback.

00:11Yes, obviously, David, any sort of level of football, if you're 2-0 down and you come back to win 3-2,

00:16it's got to be, obviously, it's a great feeling, great sensation and really satisfying.

00:21And, you know, give Launceston credit, they played well and they were 2-0 up

00:27and they probably just about deserved a 2-0 lead.

00:30But I thought we had some lively lads on the bench.

00:35I knew that before we started.

00:36And I think the fresh legs just gave us that bit of impetus.

00:38Once Gussie got the first goal, then, you know,

00:43I felt that we had the chance of getting back into the game and so it proved.

00:48In the first half, you didn't quite hit the straps after the last two weeks.

00:54What did you put that down to? Or is it a case of sort of...

00:58No, I think, you know, give Launceston their credit.

01:01We had a couple of good wins at home, you know, against Bournemouth and Sunday.

01:05And we scored goals and we looked very tight at the back.

01:07But I think Launceston, you know, they put on a little bit of pressure.

01:11They closed us down quite quickly.

01:12And I thought we were a bit wayward today with our passing.

01:16And we played a little bit more narrow than we would like to.

01:19We tried to open the game out a little bit in the last few weeks and we played a little bit more narrow.

01:24And we didn't really create very much in the way of chances.

01:28Neither team did really in the first half.

01:30But obviously, it took that 30-yard free-kick to break the deadlock.

01:34And then you mentioned the first half obviously didn't quite hit the straps how you'd like.

01:38What was the chat at half-time about trying to turn that round?

01:41Well, we were just very disappointed in our performance, to be honest, at half-time.

01:45And I think the boys all knew it and they were determined to go out and make a difference in the second half.

01:51But then we got caught really quickly with another strike from distance into the far corner.

01:57So, which obviously then gave us a bit of a mountain to climb.

02:00But credit to the lads, you know, the bunch of boys we've got, they're a great bunch of lads.

02:04And they've been training hard, you know, every Wednesday night for an hour and a half.

02:08And I think, you know, the results now, obviously, we needed to win these last three games.

02:14We really needed to because we only took one point out of six versus Buda and Sticker in two tight games.

02:19And luckily, the boys had come through.

02:21And like you said, you can't stop smiling when you've just pulled back from a 2-0 deficit and won 3-2.

02:27Of course. And then obviously that means you're now, I think it's 11 points clear of Launceston at the bottom,

02:32which means, obviously, hopefully you can enjoy the last six games.

02:35What are the targets now for the rest of the season?

02:37Well, just carry on as we are, really.

02:39I think we've improved through the season.

02:41You know, we had eight or nine players leave last year and we've had to build again.

02:45And luckily, Tom Cain has come back from a stint in the Navy in Australia and Adam Steep has come back,

02:53which has obviously helped us when you get players that experience, you know.

02:57So, we've got some good youngsters.

02:59So, I just want to carry on the improvement and I just want to be competitive in every game.

03:03And hopefully, you know, that's nine goals in three games now.

03:07So, we were finding it very difficult to score goals.

03:10So, let's hope that we can continue to create chances.

03:14Perfect.
