Captain Kevin Hemsley says the Crawley players are more confident than ever that this is going to be their year.

Reds went six points clear at the top of the premier division after a 2-1 win at Moor Green.

Charlie MacDonald gave them the lead after ten minutes with a close-range finish after a shot from Peter Fear had been parried by home keeper Adam Rachel.

Hemsley doubled the advantage on 34 minutes following a goalmouth scramble for his ninth league goal of the season.

The home side pulled one back three minutes before half time when Jamie Petty scored direct from a corner.

Victory was made sweeter because title-rivals Weymouth again buckled and lost 1-0 at home to lowly Chippenham.

Hemsley insists the Crawley players will not suffer from nerves as they continue their march towards Conference football next season.

He said: "We just keep winning because the character and confidence in the dressing room is so high.

"We don't really think about other teams because we don't need to. There is so much self belief. We go into every game thinking we are going to win."

Reds still have a game in hand over Weymouth, which they play tonight at third placed Worcester.

With seven games to go, three of which are home and four away, Hemsley knows it is the perfect opportunity to increase the gap at the top.

Reds also have a two-legged Dr Martens League Cup final against Moor Green, with the first game being played away a week tomorrow.

Hemsley said: "We need to get a positive result against Worcester, whether that's a win or a draw, and we know it won't be easy. But with the way we are playing at the moment I don't see any reason why we can't get three points.

"The difference this year is how we adapt to playing against different teams. If we have to go for the win and attack we can do it and if we have to sit back and battle out a result, then we can do that as well.

"That has been the secret because it means no matter what sort of team we come across we can change our game to match them."
