Brown proud of All Blacks effort

Launceston v Birmingham and Solihull
Launceston fought hard but came up just short against Birminmgham

Launceston joint head coach Chris Brown says he is proud of his side's effort despite losing to Birmingham and Solihull after extra-time.

The Cornish All Blacks went down 15-10 to the side sitting second in National Two after 100 minutes of rugby.

"I don't mind coming second best when you're up against a team and in a game like that," Brown told BBC Cornwall.

"It was aggressive, it was hard hitting, and I just thought it was a tremendous spectacle."

Brown added: "We had chances to win, but they're a quality outfit. Although I'm disappointed, I'm very, very proud of the team."
