QUOTABLE...
"Sadly, we weren't able to deal defensively with Ashland's style of play.  They play a very direct and physical game which puts pressure on the opponent's back line and midfield, and they do it really well. "

"Too often this season we have conceded early goals and the same happened tonight.  We made some changes during the game and at halftime which saw us see a little more of the ball, but just couldn't find that break-through goal to energize any form of a comeback." - Head Coach, Willie McGowan
