Victorious coach, Calvin ‘Fluman’ Allen during an invited comment said: “To be honest it was a good performance for me. Milerock came out and put a lot of pressure on us in the first half. It was difficult to play our passing game and we had to hit them on the counterattack.
“I am quite satisfied with the game. It’s good preparation going into the later stages of the event,” added Allen.
