MATCH RESULT

Worcester Bears U11s 48 V 43 Leadonites U12s
- Mid-season Friendly 
- Played at Bishop Perowne CofE College, Worcester
- Saturday, 17th December 2017

  With seven players unavailable to play Leadonites travelled to Worcester to play this friendly with a match day roster of just eight players and one of those, Edik Demcenko, playing his first ever basketball match.


  A poor first quarter saw the Ledbury team 16 points behind with only four points from Katie Dudley to show for their efforts at the break despite many scoring opportunities.


  Alfie Fisher scored early in the second quarter which sparked Ben Deards into a personal scoring spree that led to an eventual game high of 22 points ( new single game Leadonites scoring record). This left the half time score at 27-26 to the Bears.

  Owen Boniface made a telling contribution in the early part of the second half with transition dribbling up court in what became a tighter and lower scoring third quarter; ending with the scores all level at 35 apiece with baskets from captain Joe French and Rich Jay added to by Ben and Katie.


  However, Bears’ superior spacing, passing and shooting told in the fourth quarter as they built a commanding lead before late baskets from Ben, Katie (making it a PB of 12 points) and Fraser Renfrew-Clarke brought the final score an air of respectability.
