“There are many positives to take away from the Northants battle, with all three results in play right up to the final stages.

“Although we felt we had the upper hand for most of the game, getting 20 points was the piece of the puzzle we were missing.

“We are all looking forward to Cheltenham starting on Sunday and another chance to move up.”
