IT'S pretty cruel isn't it. One more try in a game we didn't win by a bonus point, if we hadn't lost to Tring, you can't help but look at the ifs, buts and maybes when it's so close and you come away with nothing.
You're going to look back at moments during the course of the season, but that's rugby, that's sport, they're a young team and we can bounce back from this and we've got to do it next season, it would be so cruel if this opportunity to get Dorking into Level Four never came again.
Next year's league will be tough, but we've got to raise our game and make sure we get ourselves into this position or one better next year because to look back and not have achieved it this year, and then never achieve it, would be cruel beyond belief.
You don't like to see 17-stone prop forwards in floods of tears. They've put their heart and soul into this season and they've done the club and themselves proud and we've said that. We very nearly pulled off something fantastic and to have it taken like that is unbelievably sad and unfair.
To lose the league by a point and to lose the play-off by a point doesn't seem fair, particularly away from home.
We were so much the better team, played better rugby, we are young, fit, athletic lads and they were relying on big, old, fat boys.
But we'll regroup and make sure we do it next year, that's got to be our aim. You always hope, to be leading at half-time against a strong wind like that is exactly where we wanted to be, but it just didn't work out and they got over for the try at the end by playing boring, but physical rugby.
Fair play to them, that's what they're good at. They haven't picked their players for their handling ability or speed. That's the beauty of the game people of all shapes and sizes can play and contribute, I'd much rather coach a team that plays the style of rugby we play, but at the end of the day they've just won.
