Head of CP Football Glen May commented after the games:
‘The club have been so supportive in, firstly setting the team up and then throughout the season, you know, the things that I’ve asked to be put in place to help the lads get this sort of reward. They’ve been behind us all the way, which is fantastic. I couldn’t have asked for more really.’
