The team boss, Leam Richardson, expressed his satisfaction with the team's performance, acknowledging their strong finish in both halves.

He was particularly happy with the clean sheet and the goals scored by captain Jack Marriott, praising his ability to capitalize on his positioning and timing. Richardson also highlighted the importance of having a strong squad that supports each other, allowing them to maintain consistency and achieve success in the league.",
