COACH’S COMMENTS
“…. A tale of two halves. Had a lot of opportunities in the first half but couldn’t connect with the back of the net. The boys came out and let them sneak a goal in on us after some defensive miscues. But we finished strong in a very physical well played match by both teams.”
“… Prestonsburg record in the region — undefeated. They are the team to beat and the favorite to win the 15th. We played right with them.”
