Round 1 Review Cont:

Game 4: West Coast Steel vs The Dons - 122-108 [Game of the week]
The battle of the brothers was next and what a shoot out it turned out to be, this game had injuries and foul outs. Only 2pts separated the teams after the 1st, WCS then blew out in the 2nd only for The Dons to blast back into the game in the 3rd. Unfortunately for DON that was all she wrote as WCS put in one final charge to close out the 4th and take the game. Depending on how you look at it either smart moves made by WCS or a bad decision by DON proved crucial. Clearly outside games played by both with each teams PG/SG/SF doing most of the scoring, 85 for WCS and 78 for DON. DON won just about every game stat only to be let down by their shooting % going 48% fg and 29% from 3pt against WCS 50% & 41%. No doubt DON will be putting this one down as the one that got away. MOTM: P.Nguyen [WCS]

Game 5: BroomeTime vs Snuffies - 83-116
Two brand new entrants to the TEA Cup met up in the 5th game of the week. Unfortunately for BT they couldn't have picked a worse starting draw coming up against ABBL experienced and widely considered favourite Snuffies. To no surprised Snuffies put on a dominant performance winning every quarter from start to finish. BT were well represented by SG De Lorenzo who top scored for the game with an impressive 34pts, though he did take close to half his team's shots. Snuffies were just too good all over with SF Air and PG Reyes scoring 28 & 27 respectively. Did I mention Air shot 11/11 fg including 3/3 3pt? Snuffies out did BRO in virtually every statistic (bar 3pt %) and eased through to their first of no doubt many victories. BRO face Vis Maior next up and should be able to put the pieces back together just in time to prove they have more to offer. MOTM: R.Air [SNU]

Game 6: Hadders Heroes vs Screaming Eagles - 124-97
Surprisingly the final game of the round turned out to be a bit of a fizzer. Both sides were finalists in the last season but HH proved they were the better side on this day. SE will probably regret opting to play an inside defense due to HH running motion. Tactics can make all the difference and in this situation it obviously did. HH shot 51% fg & 50% (13/26) beyond the arc. HH PG Krasny was outstanding shooting 26pts at 76% and 3-5 3pt but unfortunately fouled out after 32 minutes of play. SF Vahey did well also with 25pts & 12reb while C Torroni doubled up as well with 10pts and 11reb. SE's SG Quasi top scored for the game with 34pts and shot an impressive 8-14 triples. PG Stevens showed his talent just missing a triple double with 28pts, 9ast & 8reb. PF Hayvaert managed a nice double with 11pts and 16reb. HH can expect to do well especially after taking a good win early on. SE will need to go back to the drawing board to turn things around next week. MOTM: K.Krasny [HAD]

Nice write ups! +1

So how is the PL going?

Also are there any openings for the next season or is there a standard that needs to be reached before entry?

Thanks
