Head coach Tim Lewis was happy to get the first victory under their belt:
“It was a scrappy game but it was always going to be. They’re a persistent team, but we had to go out there and do a job. We got the win, and we had the opportunity to play everyone in the squad. We achieved what we set out to do, so I’m pleased with how it went.”
