The Bucks

We found a way to win and that's what good players and teams do. Opponents Derby were terrific and will be disappointed. They tired late on, though, and we were able to take advantage. It's all about putting the ball into the back of the net and we did that by pushing right up to the end.
"Saturday against Brackley will be another kind of cup final, a massive game for us. We've got a few bumps and bruises but we'll be ready. Hopefully, we'll have big crowd support to shout us on."
