BLIZZARDS B 67-51 Yateley Silverbacks

BLIZZARDS go top of Div3, all be it that Yateley 2 should take that spot back after they play their games in hand, the BLIZZARDS had another good game after a slow start 0-8 and not scoring for the first five minutes they slowly got in their stride after trailing 8-14 at the end of the first quarter.
An 18-4 in favour of the locals in the middle of the second quarter with Ben Firrell and Oliver Tate making the difference soon have the Blizzards in front 29-22, but four late points from Yateley saw the half time score at 29-26 with the game still in the balance.
The home side soon took control with Stuart Elliott, Jack Bond and Harry Preston all hitting threes, while Adam Lack and Oliver Tate were also finishing in the paint 46-33 with four minutes left in the third quarter and now the Blizzards were playing with confidence, end of the quarter 51-37.
The last quarter was finished off with an U18 and four U17’s on court for just under five minutes, and they moved the ball smoothly with Ben Firrell Taylor Dawson and Nathan Rutherford putting up the points after several good assists, for a 67-51 win.
This result putting the team on poll position for the time being, with a 7-4 record.
Well done boys, next game away to Woking on Friday 9th February, a win would give them promotion hopes.
