MILLWALL'S under-15 team suffered a heavy defeat in their Essex Cup clash with Westcliff but spirits remain high for the rest of the seaons, says their coach.
Gary McLaughlin admitted that Westcliff deserved the 50-0 win but said his young Lions never gave up.
'As far as our team were concerned we were beaten by a better team on the day,' said McLaughlin.
'Our guys put up a fight and their heads didn't drop.'
McLaughlin singled out flanker John Woods for particular praise, adding: 'There was effort in every tackle he made.
'He was all over the park, constantly chasing the opposition.
'He ran his socks off from start to finish.'
And McLaughlin said his team wanted to 'train harder' and the best was yet to come.
He said: 'We have got a lot of time to improve.'
