Speaking to HU17.net Turnbull said;
“It’s a huge game this weekend, following from what was a great battle last week.
“We really had to dig deep at Hullensians, it’s a tough place to go, possibly one of the hardest in the league. We were accurate in our play barring two plays which they scored from.”
“The most pleasing thing was how we adapted and took Hullensians on up front. It was won by our big boys getting through a ton of work.”
“Matty Brown and Alexander McPeake were outstanding throughout, Doobs and Will Maynard played the game fantastically well; the back three were industrious and always looking for opportunities.”
“This week against Moortown will be a different challenge, it will be a titanic battle.”
“By all accounts they have recruited heavily from New Zealand and they were half decent at their place.”
“As long as we do the basics well we are more than capable of getting a win.”
Beverley RUFC now have their sights set firmly on promotion, flying high in the league a place in the playoffs is a very realistic goal.
