They Said It
Head Coach Carl Reynolds
"I'm really, really pleased, particularly with the clean sheet. We defended fantastically well today. Two really good goals, should've had more, but these guys deserve it. They were absolutely fantastic and I'm just really pleased for the seniors, to finish off the regular season at home with a win, a clean sheet and a fantastic performance. Couple of days off, then we go again."
