North women got a shock tonight when the warriors were more than competitive against them. Down by 20ish at half time the Warriors out scored the Rockets to be only 10 down at the last break.

Woodville only scoring 10 and 9 in the first two qtrs hit 21 in the third but failed to maintain the same intensity in the last quarter and the rockets ran away with a win by around 20.

Woodville have improved over the past few weeks and with Brooke Sidebottom playing with more confidence they will push a few more sides and eventually put some wins on the board.

North men jumped to a seven point early lead and although Woodville clawed it back to level at 32 all they were still ahead at the half time break, Hambour doing a lot of work at both ends of the floor.

Puddifoot scored a game high 27 but was ably supported by Birmingham, Mapunda, Rees and Baggott.

Great to see some of those 3 pointers dropping, leaving Hambour off for so long in the last quarter hurt North, once the Warriors hit the front there was no going back.

With a win under their belt the Warriors and playing with confidence should be hard to beat.

whats the final score for Forestville men, need to know so I can work out the margin for my tips!

West over Norwood in the Womens by about 5.

Norwood over West in the Mens by 3, 88-85. Went right down to thwe wire, the lead cnaged several times. I don't think either led by more than 7 the entire game, it was close throughout.

West had their chances but let it slip. A lot of blocks from the Norwood bigs and some spectacular fast breaks from the Bearcats. All in all, a great game to watch.

yes the woodville women might be looking good in a few years time with some good juniors coming through the ranks and with sidebottom and the new tall girl that everyone was talking about - she was very good defensively imo

Forestville men blew mavs away with a 30+pt lead by half time. Some great 2nd qtr action and shots from everwhere. Mavs shots not falling. Some mental lapses and basic mistakes by Fvvle in the 2nd half allowed mavs to get within 11 by the 4th as their shots picked up, but Fvlle stepped up a notch again to win by 14 I think it was.

what about the women?

ELG had a very good game too, some great boards and a nice shooting touch

(#75424) yes the new girl was very good defensively and had some great blocks.

her offence needs finishing off, some great moves to the basket only to rush the shot.

plenty of promise.

if woodville can put together a few quarters like the third against north, the first against centrals and the first against sturt they would win more than they lose.

Hasn't been much mention of it, would have thought there would've been much more...

In a great physical but controlled battle - right down to the wire...
ONE OF THE BEST GAMES SO FAR THIS SEASON - Norwood over West.

There were bigs inside, there smalls and happy trigger pulling from outside, fast breaks galore, an ever changing lead and great game flow. Sometimes even seeing some of the smalls try there luck taking it to the rack.

Very exciting game and more needs to be said about it... this was basketball at its best.

Great atmosphere aswell - not the biggest crowd i've seen, but down the stretch, definately the lowdest and how great is it for norwood to have its identity back - MARS.

Looks like Rory was the best for West and Robin Eley for Norwood had a great game, where Cooper found it hard inside tonight - not all to do with Crusher's physical presence but that helped shut him down. The younger bigs for west stood strong not allowing the moment to occur for a talent miss match inside.
No8 for norwood - who is he... he gave some good minutes to account for Cooper's quiet game.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY STATS??

REES U BIG DUNKER!!

lorenzini is quality, as a young point guard she really keeps her even younger team together. has had a great start to the season so far. she is also exciting to watch as she just completes really hard!

Lions women played well until the last quarter where poor use of the bench left key players tired and again in foul trouble. Tiredness in the last quarter was displayed in high turnovers, poor shots (air balls) and lack of aggression on defence. However a much-improved side that should see some more wins on the board before the season is out.

BC returned to Adelaide as he heard that Phil Smyth was going to give all the young guns more court time now and develop them.

Adrian was a descent junior - hed be 30 - 31 now....
