Focus Knights vs Drummond St

Last Monday the 21st August 2006, I went to score for the Focus Knights following my Indoor Cricket match that we lost by a single run.

The Knights’ player lineup included, Adam, Scotty, Russ, Hayden, Terry and Troy. Their record for the season was 5 wins and 2 losses, which put them 5th on the ladder and equal of points with 3rd place. Drummond St were 4th on the ladder.

The Knights started the game extremely well scoring the first 13 points of the game. So one could say that they had a real easy game, but after they scored the Drummond St held the margin after a couple of 3 pointers and stayed between 8 and 15 points behind. The main part of this game was the rebounding, both offensively and defensively. For about 10 minutes of the match in the second half, the Focus Knights were unable to get any rebounds and this allowed the margin to be closed do to 2 points.

Terry picked up 4 fouls in the first half, with the 4th one being called right at the end of the half. That call was a little dodgey from what I saw of it, and Terry said that he made no contact with anyone. The second half he started on the bench, and when he finally subbed on he lasted less than a minute before picking up his 5th foul.

After the margin was closed down, they took a timeout and regrouped. Following that they started getting into great positions for the rebounds and managed to stretch the margin again, finally winning by almost 10 points. Next week they are playing at 8:50pm.
