MIROSLAV DJUKIC AFTER THE GAME:

– We had our ups and downs this season but I`m happy now for my team as I know how much effort and desire there was from them all the way through. Sometimes things didn`t go our way but I can`t fault any of my players. This was one top season and they deserved to finish it off with a trophy.
