Transcript

00:00 George, how do you describe how today feels then? I mean what a performance from the boys,

00:07 your 50th cap so you get to lead them out and the man of the match, Bubbly, at the end.

00:11 It doesn't get much better does it? I mean we had a big three weeks and then last week,

00:16 and we said last week that's not good. We've got the rest of the season to go and this

00:20 is the next biggest game and we've got performance, we make the hard work ourselves but we all

00:24 stick together and a good team to come out the top.

00:28 Yeah, I mean you showed such great character, I mean you did last week over at Dorking as

00:32 well but 12 minutes in you lose Ben Kelland and that could have been a real big blow but

00:38 you kind of managed to grow from that somehow didn't you?

00:42 Yeah, we lost our main line-up for us so it became pretty tough but we all grouped together

00:48 and worked on what we had and we didn't lose much ball and together us forward put on the

00:53 platform for the backs to finish off the tyres for us.

00:55 Yeah, and Ben Kelland stepped up to the mark, not Ben Kelland, Ben Penfold sorry, with that

01:00 late penalty and yeah but then there was lots of work to do after that still wasn't there

01:05 to keep them at bay?

01:07 Yeah, credit to Penny, great kick at the end there and it was five margins and that's what

01:12 was great about it.

01:14 Yeah, and I mean I think you must be up into the top four now and the season's really alive

01:19 isn't it and great to see.

01:21 Yeah, I mean the season's not done yet, we've got a long way to go but we're in the fight.

01:25 Excellent and just try and describe what this club means to you then, you're a local lad

01:30 as well aren't you?

01:31 Yeah, local lad, grew up in Hitchin so not far away and I've been playing here now in

01:39 the senior academy since I was 17 so it's been a long time coming but it's my 50th cap

01:43 for me so much, a lot of people come and go but it's all about the people that are here now.

01:48 And it seems a pretty special group here, this team that you're playing in, they don't

01:52 know when they're beating.

01:54 Yeah, they're all sticking together, when it gets tough we get closer and tighter as

01:58 a group and therefore we come out on top.

02:01 Brilliant, well go off and enjoy the celebrations, I'm sure there's a lot more to come.

02:05 Definitely.
