Burge: A Better Feeling Than The Checkatrade Trophy

Last updated : 02 June 2018 By CNS Sport

Lee Burge has said that winning promotion with Coventry City at Wembley is a better feeling than winning the Checkatrade Trophy.

Burge played in both finals, the second of which had far more riding on it and speaking about this to the Coventry Telegraph, he said: It's everything you dream of as a kid to win at Wembley. The fans were incredible.

"We hope in League One next season we can push again.

"The belief has always been there, we wanted to get automatic promotion, when that didn't happen we knew we had a good chance against whoever we got in the play-offs.

"We knew on our day that we could beat anyone in this league, but we have probably done it the best way and had to work really hard to get here.

"This is a better feeling than the Checkatrade Trophy and we can forget that feeling now and look ahead to next season.

"A lot of the players have come out of the academy so that means a lot to achieve this together.

"If we can add a couple more to the team there is no reason at all why we can't be pushing next season as well.

"We are solid, strong and everyone has got promotion on their back now so that will give us vital experience.

"We have got better as the season has gone on, stronger more consistent and we want to take that forward.

"It's been a good season, I have played most of the games, made a few mistakes but learned from everything and ultimately we got promotion so I can't ask for more."
