Speaking to the Falkirk Herald after the victory, Fury head coach John Bunyan said: “This was another game for us to look at different line-ups during certain phases of the game and we are really allowing Ali and Ammar to settle in with the team.

"We also have our younger players developing with Lewis, Finlay, Andrew and Harvey all part of that process and they performed extremely well.

"We also had former Scotland guard Bryan Munnoch play on his return from injury with a solid performance.
