Press Release #5 - 08th October 2024
If you were looking for a quiet Sunday afternoon, then the Northants Basketball Centre was not the place to be last Sunday. Over the last few years games between “thunder” and “Tornadoes” have been close run affairs and so it proved on Sunday with “Tornadoes” taking a 70-69 lead after a seven-zero charge with five minutes of the game remaining. The lead was to change a further six times but when “Tornadoes” guard Gilbert drained three of four free throws to give his side a four point lead it looked all up for “Thunder”. James Kennett-Maughan came off the bench to drain a three-pointer and it was game on once again.

Last Sunday the Northants “Lightning” Junior Women faced one of the most unpleasant experiences in sport, namely a long journey home after a disappointing defeat.
After their long journey north “Lightning” made an excellent start to the game edging the first quarter 15-12 thanks to nine points from Amelia Wesley-Maryan. It was a very different “Eagles” team that hit the court for the second quarter and their physical play seriously disrupted “Lightning’s” offensive play. The home team won the quarter 24-12 to take a 33-28 half time lead but “Lightning” were still well in contention if they could cope with the physical nature of the game.

The Northants Junior Men welcomed National League new boys Lincolnshire “Panthers” to the Basketball Centre last Saturday and showed them what the step up to the National League was all about. “Thunder” rushed into a 17-4 lead but their defence was adjudged to be over aggressive resulting in “Panthers” closing the gap to 27-10 from the free throw line.
The start of the second quarter saw “Thunder” become too passive allowing “Panthers” to go on a 10-zero run to close the gap to 27-20. “Thunder” re-grouped and went on a 16-10 run to lead 43- 30 at half time but the visitors were still in the game. CLICK HERE to download the full Press Release |
