the technique and the occasion make it my favourite goal." The players returned to Morgans Hotel in Swansea where they held a party for their victory. The celebrations were however limited by manager Kenny Jackett who insisted on the team remaining focused on earning promotion from League One with seven league games remaining. His side went on to reach the 2006 Football League One play-off final the following month, losing to Barnsley in a penalty shootout with Tate missing the decisive spot kick. Despite the lack of a sponsor's prize fund, Swansea were estimated to have made around £400,000 from winning the final. Carlisle manager Paul Simpson expressed his disappointment that his side had conceded such a late goal, commenting "The boys are gutted ... because we all feel that, over the match, we did enough to at least take it to extra-time." Simpson did however state that his "players should be proud of themselves." Carlisle went on to win promotion from League Two after finishing the season in first place. Simpson left the club at the end of the campaign to join Preston North End. As of July 2020, the club has reached two further Football League Trophy finals. They were defeated by Southampton in the 2010 final before beating Brentford the following year.
