Gracious Fisher Athletic boss Wayne Burnett hopes Hampton & Richmond can win a place in the Blue Square Premier after seeing his side pipped on penalties at the Beveree yesterday.
A tight play-off saw a 0-0 draw, following Tuesday's 1-1 stalemate at Champion Hill, before Alan Devonshire's men prevailed on penalties.
Burnett told the Non-League Paper: "As the game went into extra time they were stronger.

"I am pleased they go on to win it. I like Dev a lot.
"I am proud of every one of my boys. They are strong and they will be back."
Devonshire admitted Fisher were the better team in the first half, but felt his side came into it the longer the game went on.
"Winning on penalties is not the best way - but we will take it."
