GLOZBALL
U14s CVL
Gloucester
Saxons 101 – 20 Leadonites
(Played at Gloucestershire College on Saturday, 22nd October 2016)
The odds were stacked against the Leadonites
team, with three U12s making up their squad plus a debutante, taking on a Saxons
team who normally compete two levels higher. Ultimately Saxons were the taller,
faster, more experienced and better drilled team and made it count.
Leadonites were 36-0 down, in the second
quarter, before scoring their first basket of the match! Leadonites scorers
were: Josh Spriggs (5 points) his first
points in only his second match, Finlay Chalkley (12 points), Tom Smith (2
points) and team captain Mike French (1 point).
This was a record defeat for any Leadonites
team but the same boys will re-group and go back up against Saxons again in two
weeks’ time, determined to compete better next time around.
