“The win against the Eagles was a great win for the club and for our fans. Probably the most exciting game of the season for us and was great to have that huge shot from BJ Holmes in front of our home crowd. The focus for us now shifts to this weekend. Right now it’s one game at a time and Worcester is the focus.”
