Victorious manager Stuart Peace admitted he felt for his defeated counterpart Gary Harvey after leading Didcot to the greatest day in their history.

This was the Railwaymen's first appearance in the final, but it was Sudbury's third consecutive loss.

The anguish felt by their players and coaching staff was clear at the final whistle as many lay slumped on the White Hart Lane turf.

And while his emotions were the total opposite, Peace had every sympathy for Harvey and his team.

He said: "I do feel for Sudbury. They were a good side and should be playing at a higher level of football, but it's not for me to say where they are not.

"We felt that when they got the own goal, our name seemed to be on the cup.

"To be fair to Sudbury they still had good opportunities in the first half. At that stage we had half chances and they had good chances."

Peace also stressed how important it was for his side to have got a trophy in their cabinet the previous week.

He said: "If we hadn't won the league cup last Saturday there was a possibility that we could've finished the season with nothing, which would have been a tragedy."
