Manager Rich Jagger was relieved to get three points at the end of the game and at keeping a clean sheet.

“I know they will feel aggrieved by the decision to award us a free kick at the end that led to our goal. But there was still a bit of football to play after that.”

“The ball in from O’Connell was excellent and also the header from Alex Stark was timed to perfection.”

“We move on to Scully’s away next week”
