AFTER one match in the National League, Taunton Town manager said it was a good challenge.

"Fantastic to get off the mark, it was crucial that we didn't lose today," he said.

"I thought the first fifteen minutes we were playing catchup in terms of our mindset, they were first to the ball, quicker and sharper. You could see they were a full time club.

"They were very good, compact and strong. But I thought as it progressed we got ourselves into it. We are disappointed because we felt we had the better chances.

"We will take a point all day long in our first game in the National League."

He added that it was a "great day for the town and a great day for the club".

Looking forward, Dray said Concord will be tough.

"We know it will be a tough place to go, it is a big journey, and it is the National League so it is going to be very hard."
