Coaches comments
It was a great night of rugby , one of those where the score is secondary to the values on display, both sides played fantastically positive rugby, the spirit displayed was infectious and both teams deserve a pat on the back
Stand out performances tonight from James Lynk at fly half and Joe Turnbull at centre.
We have to give a shout out to 3 players who only recently started their rugby careers , Ned Sutton and Logan Buffey in the pack and Tom Brodrick on the wing who scored his first ever try.
