RI vs New Town

We lost to New Town Secondary 56-51 today. Early on, two of our important players Zheng Feng and Johnny were taken out with ankle sprains and this left limited attacking options for the rest of the game. Nevertheless, we continued fighting and hustling and maintained a lead all the way to the fourth quarter, credit to good shooting by point guard Danny. The lack of options showed in the fourth quarter as New Town was better prepared to guard our point guard and the rest of us were not hitting our shots. New Town punished us for this by overtaking the lead.

Simon fouled out in the last quarter and this further hindered us. We fought back with full court defence after New Town grabbed a ten point lead with a few minutes left, and managed to get back a few baskets and bring it back to within four with a minute to go. Unfortunately, it was not quite enough and we did not take back the lead. Overall, we did put in effort and with the circumstances it was nothing to be ashamed about. However, if we had put in abit more effort over the course of the game, we would have snatched the win, even with nine men.

Draw for second round 9th February. We will be back.
