MARK Molesley said he is 'immensely proud' of his Weymouth's side after 'nullifying' Forest Green Rovers in the FA Cup.

Despite the Terras getting knockout of the competition on Saturday, the Terras players can hold their heads up high after putting in a shift against the National League side.

Speaking to the club's YouTube channel after the game, Molesley said: "Immensely proud of the lads effort and endeavour.

"We needed everything to be right on a day like today.

"I don't think there are many better squads in the National League, they kept us honest and on our toes.

"We had to be tactically good and we were, we defended magnificently and worked our socks off.

"We had chances, but one of those needed to go in and that's been the story of our season."

At 1-0, Molesley always thought his side were in the game and could have nicked an equaliser late on, but a missed foul in the lead up to Forest Green's second left the Terras boss wondering what if. 

He added: "I felt it was cruelly taken away at the end, I felt, and certainly not blaming referees in any way shape or form, but I felt it was a foul in the middle of the park.

"The game plan was to be in the game at the end, and we were in the midst of doing that.

"Unfortunately, its gone against us, and that fairytale moment you are dreaming of and worked so hard went away with it.

"I'm gutted, great away travel, the boys worked their socks off and like i said, we nullified a fantastic outfit to a minimum really."
