Fylde have done it! A 2-0 win against Boreham Wod confirms Fylde will finish the season in 5th place and enter the play-offs. Max Haygarth scored a great goal on 3 minutes from outside the box and put Fylde in the driving seat. Boreham Wood could not match The Coasters today and we saw the return of Stephen Dooley in the second half who marked his return with a great goal from the left hand side. Dooley beat the full back before firing across the goalkeeper into the bottom corner. The Fylde players look delighted out here and Duncan Ferguson is ready to talk to our reporter.

"Duncan, congratulations. You have secured play-offs but this season has been a difficult one and at times it looked like you would miss out. How did you get the players to respond in this manner after suffering some heavy defeats recently?"

DF: After we lost to Salford I sat down with the players and I told them, we forget everything that has happened this season. We look at where we are now and we we give our all in the final two games. York were defeated last week and that put it in our hands. We had to go out there today and treat this game like a cup final."

"How do you overcome last seasons play-off final defeat? What wil you do differently to ensure promotion?"

DF: We can't guarantee promotion but we are close. Everyone has Northampton Town as favourites and I cannot argue with that. We have played two games and kept two clean sheets. We take that forward and we start fresh. The biggest challenge is preparing the lads mentally. We have leaders all over the park and this is where they stand up. We've got experience of being in the play-offs so out of the sides we should approach this better prepared."

"Duncan, good luck."


FINAL STANDINGS

FYLDE ADVANCE......

55101

Second half substitute Oliver Sarkic scored from Luke Burke's ball into the box. As the ball was initially cleared, Sarkic chased down the loose ball inside the area, turned and shot into the top right corner. Danny Rowe missed a penalty in the 89th minute and Boreham Wood threw everything at Fylde in stoppage time with an effort cleared off the line by Morgan Feeney late on. Fylde advance and will face Sutton Utd in the semi-final.


 
FIVE FOR FYLDE!

A fully inspiring display gave underdogs Fylde a remarkable victory away at Sutton United in the play-off semi final. Ashley Hemmings shot was saved by the keeper but Danny Rowe poinced on the rebound and put The Coaster 1-0 up. James Hardy was on fire today and hit his shot with venom into the bottom corner from the right hand side of the penalty box. Fylde looked motivated and fully invigorated on the pitch and the magnificent midfielf trio of Croasdale, East and Haygarth worked a wonderful third goal as East laid it off into the path of Haygarth who smashed it home from 20 yards. 3-0 and it looked like the game was out of sight. Fylde did not ease up and four minutes later it was Feeney who was unmarked as Easy whipped in the free kick to tap into the bottom corner. 4-0 up and The fans were louder than ever. Fylde almost made it 5 when Rowe hit the post in the 65th minute and kept the pressure on The Sutton back line. Sutton got one back but it was not enough when Quintero sent Griffiths the wrong way with a penalty but two minutes later the magnificent Danny Rowe got his second of the game and made it five for Fylde. Wembley....here they come.


 

THE DATE FOR WEMBLEY IS SET

55118

Billericay beat Northampton Town to get to their first play-off final. This will be Fylde's consecutive appearance and will be looking to grab this opportunity for promotion to the football league with both hands. Will the occasion prove to be too big for them once again? Will players keep their heads? We will find out if the players have learnt a valuable lesson from last time they played here. The fans are all set for another trip to the capital and will enjoy every moment of their big day. Duncan Ferguson has done incredibly well getting his team this far after almost missing out on qualifiying for this seasons play-offs but after that impressive win against Sutton United, The Coasters will certainly be the bookies favourites here.
