Fans joined players in celebrating on the pitch, chanting the name of chairman David Newton.

"I'm so proud of everyone at the club," said Cox, who had 11 first teamers unavailable.

"We were on our last legs. Missing some massive players but we've tweaked it and that's what's made me the most proud.

"Against a very good side, and the players gave absolutely everything.
