A 6-5 penalty shoot-out success sealed FA Trophy progress for the Bucks against Enterprise National League South opponents Chelmsford City following a 1-1 draw. Bucks manager Kevin Wilkin was delighted to be in Monday's third-round draw and praised his side's character in stepping up, as well as recognising the home crowd's continued contribution.
“Yeah, I've said a few times now, where the crowd stayed behind us and kept lifting the lads, and I think, honestly, the lads feel that. Even though we fell behind, they were still singing for us and still giving us encouragement and what have you. To have that feeling, and if we can get a few more through the gate and keep trying to play some expansive and exciting football… That's obviously the intention, but we clearly need to keep winning games.”
