“The confidence and the enthusiasm of a young squad was phenomenal.

“We have put our trust in these young players and you could see how they have grown.

“Our first goal was outstanding, the way we passed it and opened them up, and came at a time when we were playing some of the best football Morecambe fans have ever seen.

“The way we passed the ball, dominated possession and created chances was brilliant.

“We had to show some resolve too as they came back at us but we limited them to very little.

“The confidence and the enthusiasm from a young squad was brilliant.”
