North Herts Knights Seniors beat Ware Wolves in the semi final of the Herts Basketball Plate.
Ware Wolves are a very good side and have proved to be a hard side to beat.
Knights set their stall out from the start and won the first quarter 18pts to 16pts, it was an end to end quarter but Knights settled in well.
This start was dampened when Wolves pushed on in the second quarter and won 14pts to 21pts. This may have had other teams on the back foot but not the Knights.
They pushed on once more and managed to win the third quarter 19pts to 15pts. It appeared from this that the Knights were not going to let this game go.
In the last quarter it was end to end with the lead passing backwards and forwards more times than the Isle of Wight ferry, Knights managed to keep in close touch with the Wolves eventually out scoring them within the last two minutes of the game with Jerome Thompson shooting the ball just as the buzzer sounded with the ball passinjg through the net for a fantastic finish – winning the fourth 23pts to 20pts.
This is one of the best wins that the Knights have had for many years and they go on to play in the final of the Plate against Harlow Hawks 1.
