Leiston manager Carl Chenery has urged his team to build on their FA Cup run, which came to an end with defeat in a first-round replay at Fleetwood Town.

The Ridgeons Premier Division side have seven games in hand on leaders Lowestoft Town and Chenery believes they can start moving up the table.

He told BBC Radio Suffolk: "We've got to keep looking forward and hopefully we can do that and push on.

"We can't mope around with our heads down, we're bigger than that."

Chenery paid tribute to his players who knocked out a team playing four divisions higher in the football pyramid on the way to a debut appearance in the first round proper.

"There's some good characters in there and they're brilliant to work with, I'm proud of them and I'm sure the club is as well."
