Yaks lose to Fengate in bad tempered affair.

If anyone was unsure about how much it meant to the Yaks players to play in this competition, they should just watch this one back.

Fengate had a couple of quality speedy players out wide and that was ultimately the difference (despite a player running on to score when a touch had been called).

The game though was played in a humid environment with plenty of heat in evidence on the park.

The referee was called upon a number of occasions to deal with the overly physical nature of the Fengate play with a team warning issued for a slap tackle. The official stopped short of brandishing a card.

Coach for the evening, James Warrener told us "I was proud of the shift the players put in throughout this match. They were a good side and didn't need to try and rough us up to be honest.

We are a social team and enjoyment is our primary aim for being here. Having said that at the end of the game it was forgotten and we all sat down for a rest together."
