Player of the Match
Player of the Match Tom Rogers: “The other night we weren’t too happy with how we executed it (Powerplay), so Fergus and I went back to the drawing board and really wanted to make an impression tonight. Great effort for the team to put the best foot forward and hopefully get the boys a win. And the boys in the middle took care of it. I think we put the ball in pretty good areas. A little bit of luckier times as well. I think that left-side catch from Seifert was an absolute Screamer! (Hattrick Chance) No, Obviously you want to tick that box off, right? I don’t think it’s coming from me. But I reckon Fergus got one in it. And it will be a hell of a celebration when he does.”
