Out Without Excuses
Tian Yonghang would exchange a stiff pat on the back with Giacomo Pagnoncelli at the final whistle, with the result long a foregone conclusion. This second loss leaves the Birds on zero points together with the hapless Greek Juniors, who were flattened 1-9 by the Munich Bengal Tigers in the round's other fixture - which means that both clubs are out of further contention.
The Birds head coach could not protest. "Ville Warriors were simply better - much better - this day. In fact, how they played is what we should be aspiring to, and hopefully in the near future, we will be able to give them a stiffer test."
