” A very tough match that could have gone either way. The players gave me what they had and I’m proud of their effort. We will put this one behind us and get ready for St. Mary’s Ryken tomorrow.” said the Cardinals’ head coach, Tom Noone.
The Cardinals entertain the Knights tomorrow in the last home match for four seniors.
