Boys reach final 4 in a thriller!

The Under 16 boys reached the National final 4 after a tense but exciting away fixture against Weavers School. A first half that saw us play a little passively on defence, meant we were 8 points down. A much more focussed third quarter saw us take a 6 point lead. The fourth quarter was nip and tuck and finished 65 - 65 which meant 5 minutes of overtime. We went into the last minute 71 - 69 up but then conceded a three pointer and were one point down with 4.5 seconds remaining! Kieran then picked up the ball from an inbound and drove the ball to the basket, scoring a pressure lay up to leave Weavers one point down with half a second remaining. A desperate three point attempt was missed and the squad booked themselves another journey to Nottingham Wildcats arena for the National Finals. Once again, the squad showed that even when not at their best they find a way to win, a trait of a very good team. Well done to them all, they are now only two wins away from back to back National titles!
