Staines Town boss Steve Cordery admits he is still seething after seeing the Swans' promotion hopes go up in smoke at the weekend.

Leading AFC Wimbledon 1-0 in the Ryman League Premier Division play-off final with less than 10 minutes to play, Staines conceded two late goals to slump to an agonising defeat.

But it was Dons' equaliser, with Jon Main appearing to impede Town keeper James Courtnage in the build-up, that raised the former Hampton & Richmond manager's ire.

He said: "Of course I am still angry about it but I cannot do anything about it now.

"It was a ridiculous decision and I am fed up that these people referees keep getting away with it. It is very hard to take."

Matt Flitter's first-half header appeared to be sending Town into Blue Square South as the home side bossed the opening half.

But Luis Cumbers profited from Courtnage's fumble with seven minutes remaining, before Mark DeBolla struck with seconds remaining to send Dons up.

Cordery insisted he was proud of his men, saying: "I thought we dominated the game, to be honest.

"If we could have taken more of our chances, it would have been a different story.

"But I could not have asked for more from the players."

Cordery will now set about plotting a new promotion assault for next season.

And the Staines supremo admitted decisions would have to be made.

He added: "I will have to sit down with the chairman and see where we go from here.

"There is a good squad here but things will obviously depend on who we can bring in. I can only work with what I am given."
