Quote from Coach Michner
"Tough result tonight in brutal conditions which included a three-hour lightning delay after a really even first half. We made some changes at the break and really dominated the remainder of the match, but we were unlucky enough to score a goal. We have to forget about the result pretty quickly and be ready to move on."
