Jubilant Camden Park player-manager Josh Marks told JC Sport: "We arrived to what looked like the perfect playing surface for us – large smooth pitch. But it turned out to be very bobbly and the strong winds suited their playing style much more than ours.

"We had to adapt and the game turned out to be a real close fight. If it wasn’t for Yossi in goal we would not have had the luxury of being able to wait 110 minutes before scoring so my MOTM goes to him.

"I've never heard such a roar in celebrating a goal – its great to see the togetherness and passion we all have for this team.

"Credit to Flixton for their efforts and hospitality. The games only get bigger for us so now on to the next one."
