Hear Jamie Crellin’s thoughts on today’s 3-2 defeat to Dartford in the FA Trophy. Many injuries and tough conditions made it a difficult day at Princes Park and after going 3-0 down it was easy to think it was all over. The lads showed massive character to fight back to 3-2 and that 3rd goal was in touching distance but today wasn’t meant to be. Up next for Three Bridges is Maldon & Tiptree away on Saturday 31st🎃 #UpTheBridges🧡🖤
