Head Coach
Daniel Finn said, "After yesterday, it will be nice to just get back on the court and get back to competing. By no means were we at our sharpest yesterday and we have tried to make some last-minute adjustments. Barry is a very good team year in and year out. Them being the top team in division two makes for another good opportunity for us to see where the gauge of our teams' barometer is at."
