"Our side held our own for a good 20 mins but then we had a man dismissed and it was hard.

"We literally haven't ceased talking about it - I was calling my mother and sibling on the journey home.

"The opponents were all dead sound, shaking our hands after the game - it was like playing a group of normal guys.

"Now we can't wait for the second match."
