"The FA Youth Cup is an opportunity for a club of this stature to invite a League club in a full-on competition and it's good not only for the lads but for the club in general," said manager Steve Shea after the game to the FA.com.
"Two years ago we had Nottingham Forest here and it proves that the club is moving in the right direction by taking the time and spending resources on the youth structure.
"We have worked hard to get this far, so the opportunity to play a League club is what all of that hard work has been for."
