Central Christian Quotes:
Head Coach
Aaron Hoxie
"Tonight the guys executed the game plan to perfection. I felt like we were in full control of the game for the majority of it. Our back line as overall shape was excellent, and the attitudes to defend were present. We didn't give up any clear cut chances where I felt we got lucky, but limited them to long range efforts and set pieces. The occasional cross was noteworthy but nothing really came from it."
"On the attacking side of things, well, it's just a case of finishing the chances. Of our 6 shots on goal, 3 were 1v1 with the GK or point blank, that drew a fine save. It could have been at least two maybe three, which would have been done and dusted. Oh well...next time we'll see if we can improve on that."
"I'm ok with the point. We've needed to get something from this week. Three would have been nice, especially after our first half performance on Wednesday, but it wasn't to be on this day. Great effort from the guys today. Full commitment. All in."
Go Tigers!
