With Daniel Mortimer taking the reins for his first official campaign, as well as the introduction a few fresh faces, things are coming together nicely for CYMS.

The 1-1 side is set to play Bathurst St Pat's during Mudgee Magic Round on Saturday, just six days after putting together its maiden win against Hawks.

While Robbie Mortimer was stoked so see the boys get off the mark, he understands the importance of keeping a level head.

"We looked at the video on Tuesday and we probably weren't as good as the scoreline indicated," Mortimer said.

"We can't be getting too complacent but we trained really well on Thursday and there's just been a good feeling around the club.

"It's a really good bunch of boys and the best group we've had in a while."

He's been getting mentions since the start of the season, but Mortimer couldn't help but speak about the impact of Addison Williams as the youngster has made an impression both on and off the field.

"As long as we've got Addison kicking I think we'll be right," he laughed.

"He's such a gentleman and he's just so chilled out for a young guy."

Cowra import Jack Nobes is another bloke who's caught Mortimer's attention thus far.

"He brings a lot of spark... he's just a footballer," he said. "He's really bought into the club culture and he's sacrificed a lot to be part of the club and that hasn't gone unnoticed."

St Pat's haven't put a win on the board through three rounds, but Mortimer knows that just makes them all-the-more dangerous.

"We know how dangerous Jackson Brien is and Zac Merritt has always been a great coach," he said.

People always talk about Panthers but I've never taken St Pat's lightly. They only just lost to Mudgee."

As for Robbie's role, he knows he only needs to keep it simple nowadays.

"I just need to focus on making my tackles and getting those quick play-the-balls," he said.

Kick-off is 2.20pm.
