Portobello
After an unsettling game away to Polonia where Kats were only 2 up at half time the City of Edinburgh team hoped for a more convincing game this time on their home court at Portobello.
1st quarter
Emma Findlay opened the game scoring the first two points. This was retaliated by strong inside moves from Polonia’s Les Jackson. Kat’s also looked inside to Rowan Bell and played a good quarter out-scoring the away team 19-10.
2nd quarter
This was not such a good quarter from a defensive perspective with Cathy Mitchell scoring 9 consequtive points, and 13 of Polonia’s 17 points in that quarter. Most of Kat’s points came from 3 pointers, two from Holly Fillingham backed up by another from Ramona Brown. The home side was up by 5 at half time, the score being 32-27.
3rd quarter
Kats started off well with especially good play from Donna Bald who contributed a quick 7 points including a big 3. This was a good offensive quarter where the players managed to stretch to a 14 point lead.
4th quarter
Emma stepped up again at the beginning of the 4th quarter managing to break Polonia’s defence to score many jumpers on the break. Kats played much better defence limiting Polonia to only 9 points and finished with a comfortable win of 71-52.
Final Score: Kool Kats 71 - 52 Polonia
