Congratulations to Kai Kirkpatrick who came off the bench to make his 50th appearance in this evening's win.
Three points in the bag ✅ A second in as many games from Deryn Lang and belting strikes from Josiah Sowa and Owen Hartington secure a well deserved victory after an impressive second-half. See you Saturday, Sons!
