In a home game for Blighty, Bain said he was happy with the tackling an handball game which was “looking good at times”.
“It is just lapses in the quarters that are proving quite costly,” he said.
Final score: Blighty 2.4 (16) lost to Katandra 34.22 (226).
Kevin Maroney was best on ground playing through the middle.
Isaac Suckling played a great game down back and Tom Edwards was good in the ruck and forward all day.
John Mitchell took this grab playing for Blighty reserves on the weekend.
The Blighty reserves come up against a young, fit Katandra side.
