Under 13 Boys suffer two narrow defeats

The Under 13 Boys began their County League programme with two narrow defeats to Turnford and Sheredes school. In our first game against Turnford we started well, leading 12 - 6 after the first quarter but then struggled to rebound well as a team, eventually losing 42 - 34. Against Sheredes last night we lost the first three quarters by only a couple of points and, although we won the last quarter 10 - 5, we still went down 31 - 28. Our rebounding was much improved but a host of missed shots from close to the basket in the first quarter made the difference. The team performance was much better against Sheredes and the team are starting to put key coaching points into practice. It is only a matter of time before our first win. Ed Anders and Danny Cutmore deserve a special mention for their rebounding and hard work on defence. Ted Rainford showed good shot technique scoring a couple of late baskets against Sheredes and George Mudd worked extremely hard in his first game of the season.
