Dalgleish proud despite defeat
Pagham striker Michael Frangou scrambled home the only goal with 12 minutes of extra-time to go, but Dalgleish said: "Everyone worked so hard, and our midfield three were superb.
"When I got back home, I texted everyone to tell them all how proud I was of them."

He said: "Their keeper was only booked for violent conduct towards James Davis, but we thought it was a sending-off offence.
"He then went to make a great save from Chris Duffett moments afterwards. We feel very aggrieved."
