The U14’s came into this game with plenty of confidence after a close victory against Runnymede 2 weeks previously. We couldn’t have asked for a better start with Becca completing a 7 pass move through the whole team with a nothing but net first basket (very very sorry Becca that we hadn’t got the camera turned on in time to catch this…!!). Zak and Emma controlled the tempo of the first quarter brilliantly as well as adding some points and allowed James and Issac to cause plenty of problems under the net. Bracknell came back into the game in the 2nd quarter as we took our foot off the gas a bit defensively but points from Joe and Charlie meant we went in at half time with a 4 point lead.
We picked up the start of the second half back where we started the first with some quickfire baskets from Joe and Emma attacking the basket strongly. As we built a lead, we started to open up space which allowed Charlie and Kyle to knock down some lovely shots from range and allow Issac, Emma and Joe to attack the basket. James as usual was a nuisance on the boards and gathered in plenty of offensive and defensive rebounds! Molly beat her guy for a lovely lay up under pressure and Sachin with some great tenacity to gather a second rebound and tip it back in. With a couple of seconds left on the clock we managed to steal the ball on the halfway line and find a fast breaking Emma who kept her composure for a perfect lay up right on the buzzer taking us to a 40-24 win.
