Folkestone Invicta manager Neil Cugley praises goalkeeper Bailey Vose after penalty save in FA Cup win over Chichester City

Boss Neil Cugley praised Folkestone goalkeeper Bailey Vose after his penalty save in their FA Cup win.

“We got that out of our system in the chat, really, and I think we came out well.

“It’s a good job we
