Here’s what Neal had to say: "As much as the result last night will continue to hurt for a while yet, my sense of pride for what these lads have achieved has not been dimmed. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with them this season. They have been a credit to the club and I hope you are all as proud of them as I am. From me, I would like to thank everyone involved this season, players and staff, but most importantly, the volunteers and supporters that are the lifeblood of the football club. The commitment that you have all shown to your club since I came to Gainsborough has been phenomenal and we so wanted to give you all the finish to the season you deserved."

"Ultimately we have fallen a little short, but as a group, I don’t believe we could have given anymore. Enjoy your summer, up the Blues!"

A full reaction to the game can be heard below and on our match report from Tuesday. Neal was speaking to Dave Remnant of BBC Radio Lincolnshire.
