Substitutes:07 Rigg,08 Kitson,09 Constable,18 Davies,23 Henly,30 Long,37 RuffelsIt was a case of wrong tactics and bringing back too many players too soon. The yellows looked like a team who were down in confidence and struggling in the league.

10 points from a possible 24 is no where near good enough and if this run is not addressed soon the U’s could be the team falling out of the playoffs.
