Coach speak: "I expect to be competitive in every match. We have a group that have grown together over the last three or four years, playing for club and school. We have a real love for one another and that will help us through our toughest days, but it will also keep us grounded when we perform well. My major concern is lack of varsity experience. We need to get used to the grind and not get overwhelmed by the amount of games in such a short period of time." - Marcus
