Laws all smiles after run ends

Last updated : 30 April 2007 By Andy Parsons

The Owls' stunning 11-game unbeaten streak plucked the club from being stuck in a rut in mid-table to becoming underdogs for an unlikely assault on the Premiership.

But it was never going to be an easy task: a 2-0 win for Birmingham City on Saturday eventually saw them promoted automatically as well as putting an end to Wednesday's fantastic run which gave many fans new hope.

"It's been a great run," Laws admitted. "We knew this was going to be a game of nerves with so much at stake for both parties.

"I said each team was going to have their moments and who dealt with those better would come out on top. Unfortunately, we were not as clinical as we would have liked to have been.

"Had Kenny Lunt's shot gone in, rather than hitting the bar when it was 0-0, I believe there would have been no way back for Birmingham."
