After the collapse at Timperley the pre match discussion focussed on effort and commitment - with several key players unavailable we knew this would be tough and the first 30 minutes suggested the boys hadn't heard a word in the changing rooms! Trailing 7-1 at half time the effort levels increased and they started to realise that they CAN compete with anyone in this league. Yes, we lost but the way in which we lifted our game does at least give us some hope for the rest of the season - if we'd matched this in the first half this could have been a much closer game but, for now, we'll put this one down as a "good" loss!
