Hereford United director Dave Preedy was full of praise for the club's Youth Team after they defeated Bournemouth Youth on penalties last night.
"A great game of football to watch," Preedy told BN.
"I said to the lads in the box - you'd pay to watch that, it was that good.
"It was an excellent game of football, it had everything.
"I think Billy was a perhaps a tad lucky to stay on, it was a bad challenge.
"It was great to see the lads dig in because when you are winning a game and then you get tied back to an equaliser especially in those circumstances, ten minutes to go, dig in, dig in.
"I thought the fitness levels then started to dip for both sides.
"What probably helped us for that we had already played five of these games, this is Bournemouth's first game. I think that showed a little bit.
"Second half, especially into extra-time, we definitely deserved to win, hit the post, header that nearly went in.
"Their goalie made three great great saves, our goalie also played very well.
"Then penalties, I didn't want to watch but you've got to watch.
"It's going to be a great game against Man City.
"I hope a lot of people will want to go to that because it's a credit to these lads.
"This is the future. Support them, this is what it is all about, this is where the football starts.
"I'm so pleased for them and for Pete Beadle and the coaching staff. It's great to see.
"And thanks to everybody for coming, great support, and great contributions for the coach which is really appreciated."
