Welton S&SC assistant manager Lee Coupland hailed his side's fighting spirit after a dramatic 4-3 victory against Ivy Tavern at the weeekend.
Goals from Sam Allmond, Matt O Halloran and 2 for Scott Coupland decided the game in Weltons favour after a pulsating 90 minutes at Sudbrooke Drive.
Coupland said afterwards: "The stats show that when you score the first goal in this league 82 per cent of the time you don't lose. The stats are huge.
"I told the players afterwards not to under-estimate what they have achieved this weekend in front of a hostile crowd.
"It was a game we deserved to win. Our team spirit, togetherness and belief were superb and on top of that we worked really hard.
"When we got pegged back to 1-1 it would have been easy for us to capitulate but when they have more than 100 cheering them on, we had no option but to dig deep and go on and try and win it.
"That's what we did and the lads deserve credit for the way they dug in in the final minutes of the game. It was a great team effort all round."
"At 4-2 we should have been able to see the game out but we were trying to do fancy things when we needed to take the sensible option and just close it out but we held on to win 4-3 and I felt we deserved all 3 points for the amount of chances we created going forwards.
"We conceded three bad goals from our point of view but I suppose Ivy will look at two goals we scored and think exactly the same.
