McCool is hurting as brave Blues are relegated

Dunstable Town’s fight to stay in the Southern League Premier Division was finally ended on Saturday as they were beaten 3-0 at Frome Town.

Needing a win from their final match and hoping Gosport Borough, who had won 2-0 at Creasey Park on Thursday, slipped up, Blues fell behind on 14 minutes to Joe Raynes’ strike.

Frome had a second on the half hour through Raynes, with Ryan Bath scoring in the 85th minute, consigning Dunstable to the drop. McCool said: “It was a long, tough draining year and so early after its conclusion of course we are all still hurting.

“A league table doesn’t lie and we always knew it was going to be a mammoth task keeping this team in the league with zero playing budget when you consider the opposition we faced.

“It took until near the end of the season for our players to learn how to manage games better and improve tactically but their ability was never in doubt and they are all so much better for the experience. “Overall in many games we were second best to some really terrific, well-supported and backed teams, although we were able to make many competitive despite all the freak bad luck we also had.”
