We - and I think the Vipers too - were down on key men due to building injuries after a 25-match season, but the 17 who were available for Melbourne in this 15-man game were able to stretch themselves fully against a Vipers team we really enjoy playing.
We are knackered now, after our last game before the Preston Tour, and so we had to turn down Vipers' kind offer to play their team again in May at their Presidents Day.
Thanks to the Vipers for giving us such an enjoyable game.
