We will still play in the NPFL next season.“My job to steer the team away from relegation has been achieved. Fingers crossed, let’s wait and see what the future will offer. There is joy in my heart, I can’t express how I feel at the moment.“There was concerns when they leveled up but I kept on telling the boys to go for the killer and the final outcome was there for all to see.“I think we deserve the three points and above all safety for another season. “The effort of the boys over the last few weeks has been very commendable and laudable.”
