Lichfield City’s manager says he is proud of his side’s performance this season despite the disappointment of the play-off final defeat.

A loss in the promotion decider against Darlaston Town at the weekend made for a disappointing end to the 2023-24 Midland Football League Premier Division campaign.

But boss Ivor Green said his side could still be proud after a groundbreaking year at the Trade Tyre Community Stadium.

> “You have got to give credit to Darlaston, they’re a good side, but in regard to us I’m proud as punch.  
>  
> “We had good go at them and I think we probably edged it in the second half.  
>  
> “We played some good football, we could have done better with a few bobbling balls in the box, but overall I’m really proud.”  
>  
> Ivor Green

The fixture saw a club record attendance as 1,100 fans packed into the Trade Tyre Community Stadium to see City’s 3-1 defeat.

Green added:

> “The game was an incredible experience for our players.  
>  
> “They’ve just played in a play-off final in front of over a thousand fans – they just have to learn as much as they can from it as it’s all about development for such a young group.  
>  
> “I told the boys in the changing rooms that I won’t accept heads dropping.  
>  
> “We still have one game left to earn some silverware in the JW Hunt Cup and we’re going to go into it with all guns blazing.”  
>  
> Ivor Green

Lichfield will head to Molineux to face either Wolverhampton Sporting Community or Stone Old Alleynians in the final on 21st May as they look to put the play-off disappointment behind them.
