Play-offs joy for Cradley Heathens
Cradley Heathens boss Will Pottinger has told of his delight after they defied the odds to qualify for the 2019 National League Play-Offs.
The Anchor Logistics Heathen pipped Mildenhall to fourth place by a single point. They now turn their attentions to the end-of-season shootout where they have been selected by table-topping Midlands rivals Leicester in the semi-finals with dates for both legs yet to be confirmed.
Team boss Pottinger said: “Naturally we are delighted to qualify for the play-offs after a rollercoaster season.
“We’ll asses the injuries to Dan (Halsey) and Tom (Spencer) and see what the chances are of those two racing in the semi-finals. If they aren’t able to take their place then we’ll be looking to book the best guests that we possibly can. We haven’t done anything straightforward this season but to get this far is a brilliant effort from all the lads.
“To say we put this team together very late on after being accepted back into the National League at such a late stage, I think the lads have given it their all and fair play to them for that.
“We start afresh now though and we look forward to a 30 Heat shootout against Leicester.”
