A brilliant display of character from the lads today down in Riverstick! Despite a slow start and conceding two early goals, the team never panicked. We dug deep, stuck to the system, and fought back to go in a point up at the break. Even with monsoon-like conditions rolling in for the second half, they completely took over, dominating possession and running out comfortable winners. Massive credit to the whole panel today, with all available subs stepping up and getting valuable minutes!☘️
