Holmes converts
DCE at dummy half shimmied left, ran right, found space behind the marker, drew two defenders and flung a good ball inside to Hunt who took it and dived between two defenders to score.
Hynes' kick on the last was a bit like the pre-match rendition of the anthem - not great and went a bit too long.
