Still on cloud 9. Mention to Kirk too. I've had my doubts about him, but the last too games he has been immense. Still very young, hopefully continues to fill out and improve even more. As everyone has said, i don't think anyone had a bad game. Gibson as well, had his criticis this year, but i thought he was excellent yesterday. Nothing fancy, but didn't put a foot wrong all game. Type of performance thats essential in a final.

I won't go as far as micks "its like 1997 vs Paris" comment, but yesterday felt special and maybe, just maybe the climb back up to SL.

Kirk's come of age in the last two games for me. He tackles everything and shows no fear.

The way we went about the play offs showed we have turned a corner. Players have learnt how to perform under pressure. There will be much bigger challenges ahead against much better sides but to get there we had to perform in the last fortnight and some of the young lads have really stood up. I don't think they'll get bullied again like they did in 2017.

I thought Belcki might have been along to join in with congratulating the team and JK and indeed Andrew Chalmers........

I thought there were meant to be 14 in the Championship. Assuming 1 spot is for the winner of Worky/Swinton, who is missing?

What a great day and night. Really good performance when it was most needed. Hope Leon can still get them up next week.

It was very emotional at the end, my lad came over to where we stand and I’m not ashamed to say we were both in tears having a big hug for a few minutes. We both knew what it meant to each other

I saw him running over and guessed he was heading for family members. Nothing to be ashamed about far from it, when I was 18 I was lucky enough to win an English Schools Track & Field championship (Shot put) despite that being errrrrrrr......28 years ago (blimey) I vividly recall the look on my parents faces when I gave them the medal that day. Sadly they are no longer with me but these memories like yours are something no money can buy, congratulations to both of you.

On a separate note I am glad I have the day off work today, it might be the drive which I really do not enjoy but there was such an atmosphere yesterday I am knackered and a bit hoarse.
