With no fewer than 8 players unavailable this weekend and numerous others called up to the As, the Bs were a depleted unit with players stepping up last minute and playing out of position.

However as always they acquitted themselves admirably and got a score on the board drawing the second half. A tough pill to swallow as with a full contingent it could have been a far closer contest.

Fingers crossed for full fitness and availability next week.
