THE WHITE Tigers secured our place in the play-offs with a hard-earned 1-1 draw at Hampton & Richmond Borough to set up a return trip to the same opponents on Wednesday evening.
“We started the game really well and could have been two or three goals up at half-time against a very good team who have only lost once at home in the League all season,” said manager, Lee Hodges. “We showed great character and fighting qualities to get on with our job and do what we needed to do.
“It was two good teams out there going at it to win and we’ll do it all over again on Wednesday.
“It’s a great achievement by the boys. To finish in the play-off places is superb, especially as we were tipped by many to be battling against relegation.
“We’ve gone with a small squad and everyone has played their part.
“Now our focus turns to Wednesday’s game. It’s Cup football now; win and we go through, lose and it is all over.
“It’s been a phenomenal season and we’ll prepare in the right way for Wednesday’s game. We played them twice in a week earlier in the season, so we’ll be ready to do the same again and give it everything we’ve got.”
