Trewick and Jones Post Grimsby

Both Hereford United coach John Trewick and physio Wayne Jones spoke to BBC Hereford and Worcester after this afternoon's last League Two game of the season.

Trewick said that victory today was a great way to end the season.

"What we didn't want was for the whole thing to fall flat today. Credit to the boys, they kept their professionalism right to the end."

Reminded they were more celebrations to come, Trewick, with a glass of lager in his hand, revealed that the squad were not back in until Wednesday.

"I've got a charity match tomorrow and here's me with a lager in my hand. I should be professional to the end but as long as I can crawl onto that pitch tomorrow for thirty seconds that's as good as it's going to get."

Getting serious again Trewick said it was a marvellous achievment to have two promotions in three years.

"Nobody should under-estimate what we've done especially now-a-days in modern football where finance means so much. It's usually the rich clubs that succeed. I think we've bucked the trend.

"I'm delighted that it's going to be a higher level next year. I think it's exciting for everybody."

In his interview Wayne Jones said that promotion is the top drawer and 'they get better every time'.

"I'm looking forward to next season and hope we will be pushing. I don't think we should go and consolidate.

"Nobody expected us to do this at the beginning of this season. Let's go and surprise a few people."

Jones spoke about the absence of player of the year Wayne Brown this afternoon.

"I think this morning he signed for Man United!

"I took him up to see the specialist on Monday - he's got an inflamed capsule (?) around his knee which has been bothering him for the last two or three weeks.

"It wasn't worth the risk to make it any worse. He did a little bit of training on Friday and felt it so we decided he would sit it out.

"He's gone through the pain barrier a few times this year without people knowing.

"He's done well. All credit to him."
