SOMERSET boss Garry May is enjoying life at the top – but has stressed the Rebels are determined to complete the job.
May’s side took over at the Premiership summit with Monday’s win at Wolverhampton, as their excellent run of form in only their second season at this level continued.
Said May: “You can't help but be proud to be top of the league, even though we have only just reached the halfway stage as far as this season's fixtures are concerned.
“The hard work starts now though, as we look to try and stay there during the course of our remaining 12 league matches.
“I said from the very beginning of the season that our first focus must be to reach the play-offs this year, and it would be a lot less stressful if we could cement our place in them because we were top of the table rather than scrambling for points from our final league matches.
“We can enjoy the next few days, however, as there aren't any Premiership matches now until Monday when we travel to Belle Vue.”
