Coach Biggs' Comments:
"Despite the result, we fought hard for the 90 minutes. Being cleaner with our choices and execution with the ball when we won it would've helped us to push Dartmouth back into their half more often. Without the ball, we were stuck in our half for long stretches and had to defend a lot of balls played into our box from crosses and corners. We'll definitely learn from the experience, so we are ready for next Sunday's game."
