Severn Estuary Head Coach Post Match Catch Up UKBA Cup
"We did so well in the first match and 10:10 seems to be a regular score against Swindon. Our team fought hard to get to 9:9 but we lost our way in the last two games and Swindon hit us hard and we could not get back into our momentum.
I'm gutted its the one cup that escapes us but now we must focus on the 2 finals that we are in and for the team winning the league twice is a great achivement Im proud of them all."
Due to time contrainst on the media team The Challenge Cup has gone under the radar a little. Quedgeley and Salmunster both qualified for the final which will take place in June/July and in the winning team there is a prize of £125 sponsorship available.
