This season has easily been Kevin McIntyre's best so far in a Shrewsbury Town shirt.His form has been excellent over the season and when he picked up a fracture to his leg back in January he was missed.

The fracture is now healed and after a few games in the reserves Macca returned to first team action at Dagenham.He continued against Bury and got the all important goal to take the game into extra time and then slotted away his penalty kick: "It couldn't have really worked out any better to be honest with getting back into the team at this time.

"Then to score to force the tie into extra time and then to win the game on pens has worked out perfectly.

"Hopefully it will be an even nicer feeling when we get promoted."

The games with Bury were finally balanced over the two legs with both sides showing just what they were capable of.In the end it was Town who kept their nerve to book their place in the play-off final: "In the first leg we battered Bury and should really have come away with at two or three goal win.

"They will have looked at the game on Sunday and may think that they should have got more.

"Sometimes football doesn't work out that way and we are just happy that we are in the final."

Macca's strike 2 minutes from the end of normal time sent the 2000 plus Town fans into ecstasy and put the game into extra time: "I had a chance in the first half to score and I was kicking myself that I didn't put that one away.

"I was made up that I had the chance to put that right and it was great to score with such a sweet strike.

"I didn't think that it was so late on that I scored, I thought that there was about 10 minutes of normal time left.

"It was a bit close but to score then really helped to deflate Bury so it was probably a great time to score."

Town's task in extra time was made all that much tougher when Steve Leslie was shown a red card 10 seconds after the restart.The lads showed with true grit and determination to force the game to penalties and then to take the victory: "I've seen the incident a number of times and I'm sure the ref will have a look at it and change his mind.

"It did kill us a bit as we were going into extra time on a high and then all of sudden Steve gets sent off and its backs against the wall time.

"To be fair to Bury they put us under some real pressure but the lads and especially Luke Daniels were outstanding.

"We rode our luck a little at times but we'll take that and were confident going into the penalties."

The lads have had a couple of days to let the result sink in but were back at the Prostar this morning to start the hard work.With just under 2 weeks to the final it gives a good space of time for the preparation to begin ahead of the final: "We've had a couple of days to relax a bit and now it's about doing the right things and getting prepared for the big day at Wembley.

"We have to just treat it as another game and do the right things to give ourselves the best chance in the final.

"Everything is going to plan at the moment and if we prepare and look after ourselves in the right way then we will put in a good performance.

"If we won at Wembley it would be perfect, for me getting back into the team, to score at Bury and then to cap it off with a win at Wembley would be perfect."
