This one's going to hurt them probably until the first ball gets thrown up next season. We all expected to win and the fact that we didn't gives us something to build on.

Mike has been brilliant for us. He is a Bath boy and there has been a massive interest in him, but if we can keep winning we might convince him to stay here. He has a great rugby intellect and is sure to figure very heavily in the future of English rugby.

again couple days definitely district few games hard mean till tough wins wrapped
I know we wrapped up the No. 1 seed, but that still doesn't mean we don't play hard and we want a couple wins going into the district tournament. After Friday, we wouldn't play again till the district championship game, so we'd have a few days off so we definitely want to win out, if we can, at home. I mean, they're going to be two tough games back-to-back.

We don't think we're looking for a third party that did it.
