Room for improvement

Thankfully we got off to a good start and then had another 10-minute purple patch midway through the second half, but made hard work of it the rest of the game, and it certainly wasn't a spectacle to live in the memory. The biggest plus for me was Lee who looked much fitter and sharper again at hooker, Watson had a better game at full-back and Nicholson got through some work up front.

Think this was one of those games where you come away happy to take the two points and move on, it was a difficult pitch ('turf' is not an accurate description!) and I think we have better players to come in that didn't travel yesterday. And to be fair Hemel do look to have improved, in fact playing there on a mucky day might be a potential banana skin for somebody.

Expecting to see improvements in the couple of home games up next.

Was great to see Jack Lee looking fit again.could be vital this season. Thought we panicked at times.
