It was a tough first League game for UHS but they are in high spirits. Nathwani said, “Our team had a solid first half, and we kept the game pretty close, but it’s after half time that we had the problem. We got tired and lazy, and started playing sloppy and that’s when things went downhill. We just need to condition more and by the second round of League it’ll be a good game against Woodbridge!”
Their next game is against Beckman at home on Tuesday, October 7.
