“There is obviously an overriding feeling of disappointment because our season has ended,” Challinor said.
“I truly believe that you get what you deserve over the course of a season and that was the case tonight. We weren’t good enough.
“Moments like this only make me more desperate for success.

“We lost the game by conceding two ridiculously poor goals.
“We gave ourselves a mountain to climb and although we managed to get ourselves on top, the first 20 minutes have cost us dearly.”
