A mixed start has seen one win and one defeat in the District League. Our first game saw us take on St Columbas on the 20th Sept. Unfortunately with Aidan injured, Dan Kempsford ill and Jamie damaging his wrist in the first minute of the game we struggled to rebound effectively against a tall and powerful team. We went dowm 28 - 83 but showed a lot of character, working hard right to the final whistle.
Our second game against Roundwood Park on Monday saw Aidan return from injury and we soon raced into a 12 - 0 lead. With all of the squad players getting plenty of court time we began to play decent defence and moved the ball better on offence as the game progressed. Dan Kempsford palyed well in only his second game, rebounding strongly both on offence and defence. Joe and Ben drove the ball with purpose and Luke continued where he left off against St Columbas, competing well under the basket at both ends of the court. We eventually ran out 74 - 20 winners to get back on track for the season. Aidan who captained the team, top scored with 30 points.
