Caroline Springs George Cross is only focusing on what is ahead of it despite now in National Premier League 3 promotion contention.
The Georgies have now won their last seven games to move up to second on the ladder after 14 rounds.
Coach Eric Vassiliadis said they were just worried about the short term and would take it from there.
“We tend to worry about each week as it comes,” he said. “We’ve put a few wins on the board and it’s good for mentality and confidence.
“We understand each week has specific challenges and opportunities and we just focus on us.”
On Friday night, the Georiges continued their good run with a 6-3 win against the North Sunshine Eagles.
The Georgies opened the scoring in the 15th minute, before the Eagles got one back five minutes later.
Georgies regained the lead in the 25th minute and made it 3-1 just before half time.
Joshua Whiteley scored his third and his side’s fourth just after half time.
The Eagles got their second in the 61st minute and the Georgies got the lead back out not long after.
Both teams scored in injury time with the result already desired.
Vassiliadis said it was an important game for both teams.
“The most important thing for us was getting the three points,” he said.
“There are things that we can improve on. We scored six goals, but we conceded three goals.
“We played a good team who are fighting for something special themselves.”
Now second on the table, a second straight promotion could be on the cards.
Vassiliadis said they weren’t talking about that.
We have not set a target,” he said. “The way it has played out, we had a slow start. As a group, the club took stock and decided to focus on the next challenge, next challenge and next challenge.
“But when you’re at round 14 and sitting in the top three or four the foundations are strong.”
Vassiliadis said it was the buy-in from the playing group this season that had seen them take their games to the next level.
“I think what we have done is put together an experienced group,” he said. “The team as a collective across the park, we have done things differently.
“So far we’re building together and focusing on the strengths of the squad to get it done, not just one or two people.
“It’s a shared responsibility and effort.”
Vassiliadis said the next five games would decide their season as they play against a lot of the other teams.
This week they face Nunawading City.
