Mr Hagger believed it was the first time the club had ever got past the second round and once they had reached the semi-final, he said, they wanted to win the whole thing.

“Everyone was writing us off,” he continued.

“Thorpeness were the favourites [in the semi-final], they’d won the competition the previous year and had a very good record in the competitions.

“So we were the massive underdogs in that, but we pulled it around.

“That was the same with Ufford Park – they had a good record and won the thing in 2017.

“They’d been semi-finalists before, so again they were hot favourite to win the match.”
