“It didn’t seem like our day, so I was worried for each bit of it, but our players didn’t give up. Matty (Peet) is doing a very good job, he’s certainly turned it round from last year.
“I really like the new signings, (Cade) Cust is good, The team has gelled a bit more so things are going well.
“It was unlucky for the Giants because they played well, but I’m glad we won it.
