MATCH QUOTES

"The doctor told me that if I want to play I can, because I won't do the shoulder any more harm. “But he also said I would face a big pain barrier. "I had treatment last night and today and I'll probably have more on the plane [to the Crimea]. With a painkilling injection I'm hopeful of getting through." "His [Garry Thompson’s] foot didn't connect. I did the damage when I fell. I don't hold any grudges. We had both been dishing out some stick." Allan Evans. "The performance was a 'continuation of our improved confidence and ensures that the players are in the right frame of mind for the European Cup. "It [Allan Evans’ shoulder] is badly bruised and very sore and tender. “ We started treatment on it on Saturday night and it will be a last minute decision whether he plays. ”The specialist says it will not do him any permanent damage if he does play and Allan himself is keen to have a go. “He was back at the ground at 9 p.m. on Saturday night, making sure the physio could get started on it." Tony Barton.
