BRIDPORT manager Chris Herbst hailed his attacking trio of Sol Ayunga, Issac House and Riley Weedon after Saturday's 4-1 win over Ilfracombe.
The Bees returned to action after more than a month off in blistering style as they swept away Ilfracombe in north Devon on Saturday afternoon.
Ayunga opened and closed the scoring either side of House scoring twice with Weedon grabbing a couple of assists to boot.
Herbst was delighted with the attacking trio who were playing together for the first time this season.
Speaking about his star forwards, Herbst said: "Riley got two assists and was really good, Isaac took his goals well and Sol's second goal was brilliant.
"I've almost been begging to get these boys all on the pitch together but for one reason or another it just hadn't happened yet.
"But finally they did on Saturday and they were brilliant and caused Ilfracombe problems at the back all day."
Herbst also singled out playmaker Weedon for his performance stating he was 'almost back to his best' after a season plagued with injury.
"Riley is almost back to his best and that was the best performance from him for a long time, so all in all I am very pleased," the Bees boss added.
Not only does Herbst have the aforementioned trio but top scorer Sam Fisher is set to return next month after time away with the Navy and the squad also includes the likes of Tony Pinder and Owen Kemp who are pushing for starting berths.
Herbst admitted he enjoyed having a wealth of talent to pull from and didn't mind making tough selection calls.
"I've always stressed I won't headaches like that. When Fish returns that will be even more firepower and we also have Tony and Owen which means we have really good squad depth."
Saturday's win also marked a return to action after weeks of cancellations due to waterlogged pitches.
During the last month Herbst has been keeping his players sharp with extra runs and training sessions, but even he wasn't prepared for the quality of his team's performance against Ilfracombe.
He said: "It was nice to have a game. We were strong all over and as I said it was nice to have Sol, Isaac and Riley together. they worked well.
"We took our goals really well but it was disappointing to concede a sloppy goal late on.
"But I was really pleased. I thought it was going to be a scrappy with both teams having not played for a while but we played really well especially in the tough conditions of the pitch."
