Notes from Coach Denton on the Road:
"It was a tough battle today against Richmond, with both teams looking for a win to end their seasons. It was a game of few real chances for both teams with the majority of the play being played in the middle third. In OT we had the best chances, with one being cleared off the line and one just going wide. It was another good performance and encouraging end to a very demanding season."
