Just got back from Chesterfield. :D

What an outstanding effort from our lads tonight, especially to turn it around having gone behind so early on, and looking very shaky in the opening 10-15 minutes! Chesterfield had the better individual players in most positions, but we had a team ethic and work rate that shone through in the end. The team coach was buzzing on the way home!

A half time parade of the trophy against Kiddy is already being organised.

It was a superb performance. They showed great composure after going a goal down so early, and looking like they might get a battering early on, to regroup and get back on terms at half-time. They didn't panic when a wonder strike got the Spireites back on terms shortly before the end, and the winning goal was a real team effort. When we heard that several of the Chesterfield team had famous fathers - with Chris Waddle watching his son from the stand, we knew it was going to be a tough game.

There are some good pics on the Chesterfield site, as well as Mal's pic on our site - I like this one of Broady consoling a Chesterfield player

I think Chesterfield might have highlights of the game at some point on their site - they have had them for recent youth games.

Well done to the lads, great achievement. Really makes the FA's policy on youth funding look like even more of a farce.
