After a loss the previous week against Tooradin, Pakenham knew there were aspects of the game which needed to be worked on.
Having a great chance to implement this in the weekend’s game, the players adjusted well.
Little talk on the court allowed the opposition to capitalise and resulted in the game being a lot tighter than anticipated.
