Milan-Siena Review: Three games, only one point..

By: Matthew | Comments 1 Comment

Firstly I’d like to apologise for not having written a preview for this game.. With three games this week it is not only the players that are suffering!

Frustrating is definatly a term that springs to mind after this weekends performance.. Not frustrating in the sense that the boys did not perform, but rather that we were desperately unlucky not to take maximum reward for our efforts.
