Warwickshire  Bears2 51

Hampshire  Harriers 33

Bears 2 got back to winning ways against a tough Hampshire Harriers .  With a full complement of players, the Bears were in a far stronger position than last week’s loses.  The first quarter was a close affair with both teams trading basket for basket, but with the Bears ending the quarter only leading by a single point.  The second quarter again was a close game with nothing really separating the two teams again scoring  basket for basket.  The Bears went into half time with a slight lead  27 – 24 Harriers   The third quarter was the major turning point in the game with the Bears toughening up their defence and forcing Harriers into mistakes and scoring from the turnover ball at the Harriers basket.  The fourth quarter started with Bears in a strong lead 40 – 25.  The Harriers tried to force Bears into mistakes but the Bears kept their heads and saw out the game winning  51 – 33 .
