00:00 Yeah, really slowly. It was frustrating. You're always fearful when you travel so long that

00:07 people are not going to be at it and they're a little bit lethargic. That was the case.

00:12 We just didn't get going at all from the first set and we should have cleared the lines on

00:17 the first goal. The one thing with the team is they're really fit lads and the longer

00:24 the games go on, that's why we scored goals later on. It showed great character.

00:31 Yeah, it was. Again, you expect them to come out and have a go. There's a decent crowd

00:37 here. It's always been a tough place to come. The result here is fantastic. It's supposed

00:46 to be so early on in the season. It just keeps the momentum going.

00:51 It was a great shot. You struck it really well in the corner. Tom's capable of doing

00:57 that. It's just what we needed at that time. As you said, we were struggling a little bit.

01:02 We showed patches but that probably just settled us down a little bit and we needed it because

01:08 I think if they'd let us set and they could have overrun us. But no, it's three good goals.
