The Adrian Lock-coached Redsticks showed how quickly they brushed aside the dissapointment of finishing second-best to India in the first leg as they redeemed themselves in the second leg, lapping up a nerve-wracking 4-3 win to chalk up their first Pro League win and also halt the winning run of the Indian eves.
