Transcript

00:00I've got James Hammond, the match winner. James, what was going through your mind when you stepped up to take that free kick?

00:07It means a sport. Penalties is a lottery, so I had one chance all day, so I had to take it and I missed.

00:16I haven't scored one all season, so I was 2-1 and I just thought, do you know what, this is the occasion.

00:21We've got all the boys going away tomorrow, perfect timing and yeah, it paid off. Couldn't have done any better.

00:27Absolutely. What was it like playing here tonight? It was a tough game. Haven't you made it hard for you?

00:32Yeah, it wasn't what we expected to be honest. I thought they'd tie out, they didn't really.

00:36It's a bit of a bitter game, they played the game really well. It was a boring game, boring to play in,

00:42but it takes one moment to score a goal and later then they were close, but it just happened.

00:47And to win it two years in a row, pretty special?

00:50Yeah, two wins out of two here, no goals conceded.

00:56We've played a lot of teams in Sussex and we've beat them all for the last two years, so it's great.

01:00But I think Sammy said it was the first time the non-league club's done it in 30 years, so it's a big statement.

01:05Yeah, and just sum up the season as a whole from the boys on the pitch.

01:09I mean, you just couldn't have gone any better, could it?

01:13Yeah, incredible.

01:14We've been champions and Sussex in the cup with us.

01:16Incredible, honestly. All the boys, all 18, not just 11, not 12, 18, been amazing all season.

01:22Joel not in the squad today, what a pair he is. I feel really sorry for him.

01:25Yeah.

01:26Isaac injured, everyone's been amazing. It's a team effort and just the season is a collective.

01:31And if we didn't have 18, that wouldn't have happened the season.

01:33Yeah, and these fans have been with you every step of the way.

01:36Yeah, yeah, amazing.

01:37Amazing.

01:38Yeah, they've been amazing. Like I said, last things you don't get this in non-league.

01:42They've been imperative to what we want and what we do.

01:45They come with us everywhere. 200 fans every away game.

01:49Yeah, it's amazing. Yeah.

01:50And a little break for everybody now for you and the rest of the team before all the hard work begins again.

01:55Yeah, nice couple of months off.

01:57Yeah, good luck. Well done tonight.

01:58Cheers.

01:59Cheers.
