Moore believes Corby can survive
The experienced striker scored twice as the Steelmen claimed their first league win under Gary Mills on Bank Holiday Monday.

The first of those is at fifth-placed Matlock Town on Saturday.
And when asked if Corby can prevent a second successive relegation, Moore replied: “I think so, yes.
“We have players in this squad who are used to winning things and I think we can really kick on from here and try to keep the club up.

“Monday was a boost that everyone needed around the club.
“It’s the first win in the league since I have been here and hopefully now we can use it to kick on.
“Every week we have been saying it’s a new team and a new start but I think you are starting to see it happening now.”
Moore paid tribute to Mills following his first league win since taking charge back in October.

Hide AdIt has been a long wait with a string of poor results leaving Corby rooted to the foot of the table.
But Moore, who was relieved to find the net twice on Monday, believes the spirit that Mills has been building showed itself in the win over Spennymoor.
He added: “It’s been tough for the manager, it’s always hard to build your own squad quickly in non-League football.
“But he is building a good spirit here and I think that really showed itself on Monday.

“And from my point of view, it was about time really.
“I have been here a few weeks and it’s about time I started scoring. I just try to hit the target with every chance I get and I am glad a couple of goals helped us on Monday.”
