Dan Mellor, Manager of Nantwich Town Ladies FC, speaking after the match, said: “Since the beginning of the season we’ve undoubtedly progressed massively, with 4 games to go we are already 10 points ahead of last years final number.
“We have introduced new standards and a coaching support infrastructure that all the players have really bought into and this year we’ve had some very good highs with really memorable performances and even when the result hasn’t quite gone our way, I’ve always been proud of the performance and the improvements we have made.
“Expectations have been lifted across the players, coaching team, supporters and within the club and yesterday we fell short. We were well beaten by a team that battled well, fought for every ball and were very clinical with their finishing.
“Whilst it’s a disappointing result, we wish Congleton Town the best of luck for the future rounds of the competition.
“For us, we get straight back to work on putting things right in training for our league game next weekend where we aim to bounce back with a much more positive performance.
“As always, the support in the stands was phenomenal and we all really do appreciate you coming down and cheering the team on.”
