Newcastle under Lyme College Knights have booked
themselves a spot in the semi finals of the England Basketball Div 4 playoffs
by beating the Hull Wasp 81-78. The Knights would jump out to an early lead
after some very intense defensive play that would see them win the first
quarter 28-14. The rest of the game would see the Knights in foul trouble as
one match official decided he would take over the game and not allow the
Knights to keep playing their aggressive style of defence. Hull would make a
run and would not lose another quarter, but the stubborn Knights would never
lose the lead in this encounter, and would go on to be victorious.
Coach Jamison had this to say," I am proud of my
guys, they held off a good Hull team and played through some questionable
officiating. I think we lost or way down the stretch of today's match but we
will make adjustments and be better."
The Knights now turn their attention to the semi finals
where they will face BC Medelynas London Sunday at 2:00. The action will take
place at Leyton Youth Centre, this will be the Knights second trip to London
