Boon delight at Staines progress

FA Cup

Staines Town chairman Alan Boon has described his side's FA Cup win over Shrewsbury as "brilliant".

The Blue Square South side beat League Two side Shrewsbury 1-0 and will face either AFC Wimbledon or Millwall in the second round later this month.

Boon told BBC Surrey: "To go there and win and be the better side and convincing was brilliant.

"The [Shrewsbury] management, their chairman, told us 'you're the better side, you deserved it'."

Ali Chaaban's goal has won the Swans £18,000 in addition to the £24,500 prize money already accumulated during the competition.

The 26-year-old said: "We're proud of the win and I'm happy I scored the winning goal.

"It was difficult because they're full time and they've got good players and are organised but it was difficult to keep up with their pace, really.

"We've done well, the defence has held up superbly I think. It's a good win."
