"I was disappointed with the way we started in the first half," said coach John Sisterson. "They dominated us physically and I don't think we won a tackle or a second ball. We only had one shot on-target in the first half.
"It took us a while to settle down in the second half, then we started to connect some passes. Fee was very good in the midfield. We were unlucky on two occasions -- the ball was just about to trickle over the line and their goalkeeper clawed it away."
