No real surprises in the womens results:

Southern def. Centrals
North def. South
West def. Norwood (No Foley or Duke)
Sturt def. Woodville
Forestville def. Eastern

Joel Goodenough hits a tough drive to put Tigers up by one with 25 secs remaining, Centrals get up court and a missed shot means no cigar. Win to the south by a point. Tough game, well played by both teams.

She had the same problem Friday night in her Div 1 junior games. Good for a laugh if nothing else.

over confident over rated
BSA making decision that are hard to follow - never
depth is a concern - refs missing blantant fouls then guessing on make ups.

How disgraceful to turn this into a ref bash. I don't believe the refereeing was good at the game but didn't cost the panthers. Norths shooting did. Had south adjusted to the shooters better they could have got the win.
At least with 2 young officials they had an evaluator like beams there to help their development rather than tell them how great a job they did. It also isn't the referees fault that there were the matchups there were I would love to know the reason those 2 officials were paired together. Lay off the refs they are victims of a situation and need a little Lea-way

Ok, I did not see the game and do agree that the pair seem short on experience to do this game together but please do not abuse Nikki on here - I would say she is a promising junior official who is breaking her way in at this level and certainly does not need this kind of negative crap.

Cleary this thread is now a waste of time. Out of all the talk of MOTR's you have to bag referee's. How come you dont bag other teams that should have won but yet there were big upset's or unexpected margins. But yet you big manly men that sit behind your screens have to bag a young promising female. And you now wonder why basketball lacks Referee's and female referee's at that. So if you think you can do a better job on an U12 game why dont you walk the walk instead of being a dork. Ive had enough to say cant wait for the last rounds before finals.

Oh well, another round, another thread off track!

Whos complaining about the refs in the south vs North game?Some of the sharpest elbows playing in both those teams.They could do a Ninja Elbow Movie with Quentin Tarantino.

Anyway back on track apart from Bearcats Men def Flames by 21 points and Tigers v Lions what are some of the news from the other mens matches?Just to rub it in(no humility after losing to south last'brrr'nite)the Women slashed Flames 25 points missing Foley,Duke etal

everybody gets on here and bashes players every week why should referees be safe from criticism???

Anon 753... do you really believe refs dont post on this site?
Another round for my friend at table 753 please!

yeah dudes

anon 280698

you have no idea, clearly.
you are obviosuly from south. stop complaining about the refs - you lost bcoz south are shit.

South are shit yet bet West the night before!!!!

no i dont ref, just hate people bitching about refs all the time instead of blaming their team!

Ranga,

and yet - south lost to woodville.

south lost to woodville. hence they aren't great this season. but they will develop, hopefully.

Why cant woodville be a growing side, they have beaten North and South granted these teams are not top 4 sides but still able to get some good results.
Woodville has the likes of Christie, Perkas, Richards all of whom are upcoming quality players, losing to woodville isnt the massive upset this year that it has been in recent times.
Woodville on a good night can run with almost any team in this league and dont deserve to be a wooden spoon benchmark anymore!

where did charlea go??
or undecided

Interested to know what happened here. She was never someone who lacked confidence (if anything, she had too much of it), so curious to know what's happened. Can anyone shed some light??

Perhaps if bench officials were not home team officials some credibility may be gained.

Back 2 bball, did any1 see the mens woody V sturt game on sun? I heard it was a very gd game, close until sturt blew it out in the last 3-4 mins! Woodville men have been huge improvers this season!!

Yes tru but woodies were without Wilson/mckay & Brink, arguably their 3 best! in their absence tho their was a small guard no# 21, neva seen hime b4?? but he stepped up and if it wasnt for Ng's amazing shooting in the 2nd half the game could have gone either way!!

What about: if it wasn't for Woodville scoring nine points in the fourth quarter?

If Sturt didn't score more points than Woodville...

1) If all the refs quit we wouldnt have any games at all. Umpiring is a hard job and not as easy as it looks from the sidelines. I admit i miss a lot of things in games but i am human and cant be everywhere and i will make mistakes, it does not mean the tunnel vision spectators can have a go. If you can do better be all means be my guest and give it a go, we always need more refs.

2) Who cares who was away. West had 7 PEOPLE for the Lions game and still won by 6. Missing two players should not make such a big difference in a game (specially a 25 point difference[talking about the West-Norwood game]).

Suggest woody womens team be even better next year with further experience and changes.plenty up side.
