It was good to see things worked upon in training being put into effect in the games or at least attempted. However, the perennial favourites of offensive spacing, passing and shooting all need more work.

Also was it great to have so much support from family in the sports hall.

CVL MATCH REPORTS

====================

Leadonites U12s returned to action with three matches at Saturday’s GLOZBALL U12/U13 CVL with Alfie Fisher making his club debut.

Gloucester Saxons 20 - 16 Leadonites

The Ledbury club dominated the first quarter taking a 10-2 lead with baskets from Archie Allcock, Ben Deards and Ben Lewis. This prompted Saxons to introduce their first five and despite a score from Samuele Miccio the hosts recovered to tie the half-time scores at 12-12. Gloucester then took control of the match scoring the next six points before scores from Ben Lewis an Adam Dudley narrowed the margin of defeat to 4 points.

Bristol Storm (U13) Girls 10 – 12 Leadonites

An inexperienced starting five, led by team captain Joe French, battled their older and taller opponents valiantly but still found themselves 8-0 down after 4 minutes. The introduction of Miccio, paid dividends as he scored the next 6 points to limit Storm’s half-time lead to 8-6.

Despite conceding an early basket in the second half Leadonites started to take a grip of the match and baskets from Ben Deards and Adam Dudley levelled the match. Late missed Leadonites free-throws left the match tied 10 points each at the end of regulation time. Leadonites showed the greater desire in the golden basket overtime and capped off a close exciting match with the winning score when Archie Allcock made a lay-up.

Worcester Wolves 10 – 4 Leadonites

After the high reached against Storm this was the match that got away. Early scores from Adam Dudley and Ben Deards gave Leadonites a 4-0 lead before being pegged back to 4-4 at half-time. Despite the greater possession for Leadonites a combination of poor substitution decisions from the Leadonites coach and missed scoring opportunities allowed Wolves to ease to a comfortable victory.
