Frankley Falcons U13 43 Vs 70 Leadonites Basketball U13
(Q1: 13-10 / Q2: 3-17 / Q3: 17-28 / Q4: 10-15)
This match was scheduled to be played in Ledbury but re-arranged to be played at Bournville College, Longbridge.Leadonites went into this vital match in the run in for the YBL U13 South Divisional title with a match day squad of 12 players as coaches Chalkley and Dudley tried to balance the need for players to get promised game time whilst still going for a victory.
Falcons twin threat of their number 9 and the excellent number 13 gave Falcons the first quarter. Number 9 got into foul trouble and Leadonites were able to take a stranglehold of the match in the second quarter.
Dominance of the scoring in the third settled the match from a result perspective though Falcons fought their corner until the final buzzer in a match that, whilst not a dirty match, saw a whopping great 56 fouls called!
