“I am so pleased for the players and for everybody involved on our side tonight,” Weaver said.

“We found a way to win in a game that was up and down with emotion and a real rollercoaster ride.

“It such a good feeling tonight and I do not think any of us will sleep after it.

“We are at our best when the chips are down, again tonight.

“When they equalised at 3-3 after playing extra-time the other day you could have forgiven a few heads to go down a little bit or feel the aches and pains and cramps in their legs but there was none of that in evidence and it is a strong mentality out there with the players at the minute.

“They are in it together and it was immense.

“The last run from Jack Diamond and having two centre-forwards between the posts dying to score the winner spoke volume of the character of the team.”

Jack Diamond had a goal ruled out for Harrogate for handball at 2-2 which Weaver said was “crazy.”

He added: “I can’t see why that was disallowed.

“It was bizarre and we keep suffering it don’t we? I think it is almost helping cultivate a never-say-die mentality within the squad so perhaps I should thank him.

“It was a great victory.”
