Gateshead FC boss Mike Williamson expressed his immense pride in his side despite a narrow 1-0 defeat to Halifax Town. The Heed were the better side for large parts of the game after a cagey first-half, but lacked a cutting edge when they needed it the most.
The Shaymen took the lead in bizarre circumstances, with Jamie Cooke's endeavour, charging down James Montgomery's clearance from a sloppy Louis Storey back pass, to open the scoring on the brink of half-time. The Halifax frontman knew very little about the goal, but his effort and desire was the difference.
The Heed boss pointed no fingers at his two more experienced professionals, with his pride for his players coming to the fore. Williamson told Chronicle Live: "It's as far on the immensely proud side scale as you can possibly get. We gave everything out there today.
