Blenheim 8 v 7 Esher

In this high intensity match Blenheim started strong with an immediate lay up from Eddie. Ellis was solid in defence and used communication to get the team into position but was out number at times meaning Esher soon scored. After a quick team talk, Ellis was supported by team mates getting back to defend and offer options out of the key. Baron showed excellent width of play and a few 3 point attempts which hit the rim. Charlie achieved some rebounding skills and his composure on the ball helped to keep the game to Blenheim's advantage. Jack used his speed and agility to outwit the defenders confidently dribbling up the court to put shots on target. Eddie kept the points flowing for Blenheim for a narrow but important victory.

MVP - Eddie 

Blenheim 18 v 8 Cobham Free School

Blenheim had now warmed up and had their heads in the game, working more as a team to create scoring opportunities for Eddie, Ellis and Winston and Ben. Excellent team work and communication throughout. LJ was solid in defence and used excellent reaction time to intercept passes and shot on target followed by extreme composure and foresight to make the right pass leading to Blenheim's successful counter attack. Charlie came on as a sub to strengthen the centre of the court helping to thwart CFS offensive play. Baron kept his discipline and remained wide on the court helping to spread the defenders and creating channels for Blenheim to maintain the attack.

MVP: Ben

The closest of the games with both teams edging in front at times. Blenheim's defence was strong which forced their opponents to go the long way round to put a shot up on target. Ellis and Charlie maintained a strong defensive pair and gained control of the rebounds, taking a second for the pressure to reduce before looking up for the perfect pass to a Baron and Jack. Eddiedisplayed superb agility and control on the ball, often taking on 4 opposition players at once and winning with the shot. Eddie kept the pressure on and using the perfect fake to outwit his defender put up a shot from outside the three point line and successfully scoring giving Blenheim the one point lead they needed to secure the win.
