Press conference

Cook had some words to say "Its great to stay in the lead of the League and also kick on though to the serious part of the cup contest, the round of 16. To end up in that round was where we never thought we would be and we just want to take on this chance and convert it into something really worth having to give every member pride when they put on this very shirt in many seasons to come. I played really well, especially in the 2nd game as I got man of the match but i just fed off the boys, they played well and made life easier. This has been a great effort by players coaches and even fans, the 50 of them that made the journey down, well done and thank you"

The manager said "yet again, I'm proud of how the boys played, I can't say how well i think they are doing in their maiden year, they're just making things happen which is fantastic. To be in the big meaty part of the tournament means a lot and also will help the club a lot with the raised steaply money prices and fame. We also get to try ourselves against the best at our level so we want a chance to see where we are at and how far we have came. I feel very special to be in this position, something I must admit i wanted but never though id get it."
