Poppies boss wanted to replay second half tonight

Poppies boss Paul Cox has his say about last night's extraordinary events at the Community Stadium: https://www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/logic-and-common-sense-went-out-window-says-poppies-boss-cox-after-ridiculous-night-fa-trophy-3106226

It will be interesting to see how the same journalist writes this up for the Courier.   Paul Holleran's comments have now appeared: https://www.leamingtoncourier.co.uk/sport/football/mixed-feelings-victorious-brakes-boss-holleran-after-bizarre-evening-3106328

Joe Dunham's report is now available and it is full of praise for the football skills of the Brakes under Paul Holleran: https://www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/kettering-town-0-leamington-3-jon-dunhams-review-3106551

I do not think the second half could have been replayed tonight as Dunham suggests because there has been heavy rain (as forecast) and even our pitch couldn't cope.

As for the incident involving the Klattering captain, there are different versions of this, but it is at least possible that he touched the referee which is not permitted.

I understand that the FA had an observer at the match which is just as well.
