Coach Biggs' Comments

"We started well again today and used the ball smartly for the first 30 minutes or so. Our lead was well deserved, but our confidence wobbled in the final 15 minutes of the half, and we conceded the tying goal. In the second half, we fought for the whole 45 minutes, and despite some good attacking moments and a couple of very good chances, we never quite generated the consistent volume of pressure we needed to find the winning goal".
