“We pushed them all the way and scored a great goal to win the match.

“I am so proud of the lads because they gave absolutely everything to get the three points and keep our hopes alive.

“We are just two points off the teams above us now and that’s not nice for them because we are catching them.

“We are keeping our hopes alive and have three games to go.

“We can’t ask for any more from these players because they are giving everything for this football club and you could see what it meant to everyone today.”
