The U16 Men's team maintained their fantastic unbeaten record in the League and Cup with a comfortable 57 - 38 win over Boroughmuir Blaze on Saturday at Portobello. Leading the way was Gregor Gray with a top score of 20 points. The boys were presented with the league trophy after the game. Thanks to Kevin Pringle, Chief Executive of basketballscotland, for making the presentations. The only blemish on the day was an ankle injury to Sam - we wish him a speedy recovery.
Both the Senior Men and Junior Men also prevailed against Blaze, winning tough games by 75 - 62 and 63 - 52 respectively. In the Senior game Lee, who was also forced to leave the game early with an ankle injury, was top scorer with 19. That result sees the Seniors still a point clear at the top of the league with only two games to play. The Juniors however have now completed their league campaign in third place.
The Junior Women and Cadette Women were also successful in their games against Glasgow Rocks. The Cadettes recorded an excellent 52 - 37 result with Shannon top-scoring with 20 followed by Rowan on 14.
The Junior Women also won convincingly 82 - 62, as Coach Findlay reports:
