Eastwood Town manager Paul Cox has said pulling off Saturday's FA Cup victory over Wycombe was a dream come true.

The former Notts County defender will now face the Magpies or other former club Kettering in the third round.

Cox told BBC Radio Nottingham: "The lads are walking on fresh air at the minute and I think it'll be a couple of days before everyone comes down."

Goals from Lindon Meikle and Peter Knox ensured a 2-0 victory for the Unibond League Premier Division side.

Cox added: "We worked hard and we're just over the moon at the minute with the result. We played some really good football and I think we thoroughly deserved it.

"We've done something the club's never done before, so we're going to enjoy the next round.

"We want it to continue as we've loved every minute of it."

The 36-year-old will now have to wait for a replay between Notts and Kettering on 10 December to discover his side's next cup test.

"Initially the club was a bit disappointed we didn't get a Premier League club but for me, personally, it is a fantastic draw - both are clubs I used to play for, so I'm over the moon," said Cox.

"But for me, it's got to be Notts County. It's where I started my football career and made my debut."
