The chasers started well but SBC went on a scoring spree and by half way through the first Q they were 14 pts in front; after a timeout the Chasers were having nun of it and they ended the Q 25 to 27 in favour of South Bucks

In the last Q the Chasers opened up there lungs and pushed hard.

If there was any fire left in the opposition they seemed not to care and won the 4th 19-6

CHASERS PLOUGH THROUGH WINDSOR

84-42

The first quarter was opened with Stef, Josh and Steve hitting five 3 pointers between them and bye the end of the first Stef had 8 pts Josh 8pts AO 4pts Steve 5pts Arek the team captain was working very well but the ball would not drop for him and finished the game with 1 point (and he scored more than paul)

Windsor had no way of dealing with the onslaught and could only score 9 points

 

In the second Windsor came out fighting and gave there all in a bid to close the gap, they had the bigger side after all. But evan

with the 6ft 10inch 1st team player they were only able to close the gap to within 7 points as the chasers only let him score 4pts in the hole game. A time out was called and the chasers were told to go man to man this seemed to stop the rot and the chasers looked to be in charge again.

 

From the 3rd the Chasers never looked back, they were told to run Windsor into the ground and did exactly that, fast breaks were the order of the day. Stef delivered 10 assists and 7 steels. AO had a great game with 8 rebounds 19 points 1ass 2 steels

 

If you had just walked in to the sports hall you may have thought it was the first quarter and not the fourth because the Chasers were full of energy and speed Windsor were looking slow in comparison. Will is new to the team and still learning some of the plays, subbed in for AO and started where he left off scoring 6pts in his first game Steve as ever was as solid as a rock throughout the game, Dan with 4 rebounds 100%from the field was in great form.

Josh slipped back into the squad without so much as a ripple and had a monster of a game with 12 rebounds 26pts 2ass 3steels 2blocks and MVP 49pts

 

WELL PLAYED LADS

IF we take this effort with next Sunday South Bucks will have a problem
