CRAIG Wilding says it is great to be back on the goal trail again after scoring the winner in the 2-1 victory against Burscough.

Wilding's 77th-minute strike was his first in Blue Square North for more than three months but it proved decisive at St George's Lane.

The striker, whose last goals in any competition came in the Worcester-shire Senior Cup against Evesham in December, said: "It was my first goal for quite a while so it's nice to get back among the goals, but three points is the main thing.

"As a striker you go through patches like that, you've just got to keep working hard. The last couple of games I could have had a couple of goals but it's not gone for me and here I've hit it and it's gone in.

"I think that is probably the worst for a while that I have played but I've scored."

Matt Dinsmore was named Worcester's player-of-the-month for February before kick-off for his outstanding displays and Saturday's match was the second time in a week he had been paired with Wilding in attack.

"Matt brings a lot to the team for someone so young," Wilding said. "He should go a long way, he's a good player and he deserves his player-of-the-month award so fair play to him.

"The more we play the more we'll get to know each other's game and compliment each other."

Manager Dryden thought Dinsmore had another good game and he was also pleased with how everybody performed in difficult conditions.

He said: "The majority of people played as I want them to play as a team and that happened on Monday night as well.

"Sometimes you can single people out like Matt Dinsmore but on the negative side who didn't play well? In the last two games you can't pick anybody out, which is good."

"It was a good win," he added. "We seemed a bit flat as we started and we conceded an early goal but they lifted themselves up so I'm proud of them.

"Once we got back into the game we got a lot of backing from the fans, which was nice to see and they pushed us on to get the next goal but I think we deserved it.

"We weathered their storm. It was a very, very strong wind in the first-half and we struggled to clear our lines and I thought we were the better side for 90 minutes.

"We are desperate to play good football and people who know the game know you can't play football in those conditions for 90 minutes."

Dryden also admitted Burs-cough were unfortunate not to have been awarded a penalty after Ciaran Kilheeney's 74th-minute shot bounced off Cameron Belford on to Chris Smith.

The City boss said: "If it was on the half-way line the referee would give handball. I thought we dominated the majority of the game but we were probably lucky not to concede a penalty."
