Nottingham Forest boss Andy Cook says there is a sense of pride among the disappointment of losing out on promotion to the Women's Championship.
The Reds were narrowly beaten 1-0 by Watford at Stadium MK in the Women's National League play-off final on Saturday afternoon. A single header from Poppy Wilson was the difference on the day with Forest unable to produce a response.
Despite an extraordinary campaign that saw them win a league title and league cup, it's ultimately ended in heartbreak as Championship football was within touching distance. However, Cook says they must still be proud of their achievements and use the prospect of automatic promotion next season as motivation to go again.
