MATCH QUOTES

“This was a game we dearly wanted to win. “We did everything but score in the second half and I have no complains about the way the lads played. “I am disappointed that we have dropped another point but with 11 games to go I still believe we have an excellent chance for promotion. “The lack of goals is worrying but I am sure we will get back on the goal standard very shortly.” Vic Crowe.
