Huddersfield Heats Div 3 side knocks NULC Knights out of the National Shield Tournament.

The Knights were back in action on Sunday 21st October for their National Shield encounter with the Huddersfield Heat.  This game would prove to be an exciting one as it came down to the wire.

The Knights would have its shooting problems against Huddersfield only managing to shoot 35% for the game. Even though the Knights had shooting problems they managed to keep the game close throughout by playing very good defence. This game went down to the fourth quarter were the Knights had an opportunity to tie the game down the stretch, and send the game into overtime.

The Knights would not make good on this opportunity and would turn the ball over. The Heat would go on and win the game 70-67. Coach Jamison said; “The guys fought hard today. We played a pretty good Huddersfield team and almost pulled off the upset. Any coach will tell you turnovers will eventually catch up with you, and today was our day. I think we are getting better as a unit we just need to keep or composure a bit better in tight situations and we will be fine”.
