A delighted Leon Pryce said he was "over the moon" after his Workington Town side secured a place in the League One play-off final, beating Doncaster yesterday.

Town won the clash 30-18 in a hotly-contested encounter at the Keepmoat Stadium and booked a date with Bradford in the final, after they whitewashed Oldham, 47-0.

Pryce could not praise his players highly enough for a superb effort in both attack and defence, saying they always "rise to the occasion".

“I’m over the moon,” he said.

“The boys deserve all of the credit and the plaudits. They’ve been fantastic all season and, every time there’s been a big challenge and a big game, they’ve risen to it.

“We only just lost to York but played well and we beat the Bulls home and away and then we come here in a play-off and turned Doncaster over, so they deserve the credit for how they have played all season.”

Another trip to Odsal now beckons and Pryce, himself a former Bull, admitted: “You couldn’t write it.

“Plans will be in place but all of our efforts have gone into this week because, if we had lost this, then we wouldn’t be playing next week.

“We’ll enjoy this victory and we know we’ve beaten them twice. But for me, that gives them extra motivation to beat us and it also gives us an idea that we can beat them.

“But they will have an extra kick to want to beat us on their own field and we will have to be at our very, very best to get the win but we’ve proven we can do it.”

Tries from Gordon Maudling, Ollie Wilkes, Tyler Dickinson and Joe Hambley sealed the win, along with seven goals from Carl Forber.

And Pryce said, despite a few hairy moments, he was always confident that Town would reverse last week’s defeat to clinch the play-off eliminator.

He added: “Big games don’t always go the way they did the week before, so I knew that we would rise today to the occasion as we have in all the games this season.”
