Obstinate Orcas manager Brylarke insists his side will hold their nerve in the title race after going top of I.1.

Orcas's 3-0 home victory over Solent United saw them move two points clear of rivals Eboracum United, who suffered a shock 0-0 draw at Reading Royals.

And Brylarke says their championship-winning experience will count as they look to claim their second league title.

"We won't get nervous. We have the experience," Brylarke told PPM News.

With 2 games to go, Orcas are now favourites to regain their title, victory having taken them top of I.1 for the first time this season. And Brylarke says he does not mind being the team to catch.

"I hope it is a significant day," he said. "I don't mind being top of the league at this stage.

"I think we've clawed it back from three points behind to two points ahead.

"We've turned it around and credit to the players for that. They have shown great resilience and determination.

"We had a period of injuries but we have come through that now. We will keep on playing. It is good to see that type of temperament."

Orcas's victory came courtesy of three goals from Scwocroft, Marshall and Gittens.

But, despite going top, Marshall sounded a word of warning to his Orcas team-mates.

"It's a great win," Marshall told PPM News. "But there are 2 games left, a lot can happen and we have to keep our form.

"We are plugging away. We have to keep going and keep picking up the points to get over the line.

"We know what we have to do and hopefully it will be enough. We are in a good position now and hopefully we can maintain our lead."
