Matt Elliott writes: I was a bit disappointed with the three tries we conceded and we were lacking cohesion at times on attack and defence but following the build-up to the game we have had it was pretty pleasing overall.

To have four Academy players in there shows that the future of the club is in good hands. Leon Pryce handled himself very well. I also thought Michael Banks showed up well when he came on.

I don't always agree with the man of the match award but I though they got it spot on tonight with Paul Deacon who took his tries well and was always involved.

I was really pleased for Graeme Bradley too to finish with that try. He has not had a good press at times this season but his contribution on and off the field has been immense during his time here. He is a very genuine guy who loves the club and the game.

I also have a very high regard for Paul Medley and the crowd showed their appreciation too.
