Coach's Corner
Oldham said, "It's always good to get off to a good start to the season especially against a quality top ten program. The lads worked hard after a long travel day yesterday and some heavy legs but got the win and I'm proud of the effort they put in. We will rest and start the focus on the game on Wednesday which will be another tough one."
