Awesome win for the Knights

Friday, January 20th, 2012

I would like to thank all the Knights players for putting a huge effort to beat Stevenage once more. It was a great team effort and the points came from right across the team.
Stevenage tried to make it hard for the Knights but failed to overcome the team spirit that has been developed this season. An awesome result against a team that like to spoil how their opponents like to play.
The effort displayed by the Knights was huge and long may it continue.

The game tonight started at pace with the Knights ruling the boards, the scores came from Jerome, Chris and Mark with a couple from George and Oliver. Stevenage tried to press hard but failed to do so with the Knights winning the first Quarter – 24pts to 12pts.

Stevenage did push on hard in the 2nd but Knights managed to hold off the press made by Stevenage and forced them into some silly mistakes. Stevenage won this quarter 19pts to 18pts.

Stevenage pressed hard again in the third and came back with an attempt to take the game from the Knights. It was close at the end of the third with Stevenage winning the quarter – 27pts to 18pts.

As always, the Knights pushed on with a strong defence and with Jerome fouled out due to Stevenage’s targetting, Knights held on to just miss out on this quarter – 14pts to 16pts.

This made it all square at the end of the four quarter with each team in for for the win.
Knights dug deep and with James Rombout hitting a three pointer and Chris netting 6 points gave the Knights the platform to go on and win extra time 13pts to 6pts.

Once more the Knights showed the resolve and team spirit that has slowly developed over the last few months and came out winners.

Well done to ALL the team – including the table officials and supporters who came to shout and cheer a superb team performance.

WELL DONE TO THE KNIGHTS.
