NOTES & QUOTES
"We were a little off after a slow start and took some plays for granted which put us in a hole early on. After settling into the game and picking up the pace in the second quarter we got going with some big momentum plays from Conor Macrae and Matt Soutar.  Defensively Ryan Morris, Mike Quigg and Miles Edmiston were solid along with our defensive mids who all played really well on that side of the ball. Once we got a feel for them defensively, we were stellar in the second half."
