Romaine Graham spoke to Newark and Sherwood United’s media team after his team’s 2-1 victory on the road over The Yellows.

“We were so dominant in the first-half, it was one of the most complete performances I have seen us display.

“Credit to Hucknall when they dropped to ten men, they just put it on us.

“They just kept popping up and being first on the ball.

“We got the win in the end so that is the main thing.”
