“It was a tough game, but I am very impressed with my players,” said De Duine’s coach, Karl Cookson.
“Our development and improvement over the season is more important to me than the score on the scoreboard. I think we could have won if one or two referee decisions were different.
“ I am very proud of my players who have done their best, concluded Cookson.

“We had better games this season. This is a wake-up call for us to come back to earth. There still a few difficult matches ahead of us.
