“You can’t take anything away from Hull Wyke, the better side won on the day. Overall this was a great game of rugby played in the right spirit by both teams.”

“When they came of the pitch they had nothing left to give, the Braves pushed them really hard and the lads gave everything in order to secure the win.”
