@ Gloucestershire College on Sunday, 26th November 2017
--------------------------------------------
RESULTS
Exeter Spartans 8 - 22 Leadonites (ht: 6-6)
Swindon Shock II 18 - 24 Leadonites (ht: 4-10)
Leadonites 26 - 27 Abingdon Eagles (ht: 18-14)
--------------------------------------------
Nearly a clean sweep of three from three but for some errant shooting in the last match and some disappointing refereeing calls pulling us back down to reality.
But as the emotion of the final contest ebbs we have to realise that weak defensive resistance to opposition dribble drives to the basket, sleepy defence against opponents getting in behind us for long outlet passes and uncontested lay-ups added to a number of missed shots and five missed free-throws (worth 8 points in total in a match lost by one point!) were the real reasons for defeat rather than a couple of unfortunate refereeing calls/non-calls.
What we got today were a number of opportunities to work on our game to come back stronger next time around.
A big thank you to coach Sandra Dudley for helping out today and to all the parents for getting the players to and from Gloscol. Added to that thank you to all at GlosColl for inviting us and running the event.
