“I had to calm them down because of the attitude the boys were bringing. Of course, the contenders showed how strong they were by going forward. There were a lot of foul plays but we kept the composure to focus on winning,” he said.
The coach is proud of the team who went on to win the game 25-22. He believes, however, there is still a lot of work to do.
During the game, The Vultures were sporting a new kit in aid of cancer awareness.
