FINAL SCORE:   SL Colliers 83 – 71 WCS Buddies

 

Head Coach Graham Hunter commented: “This was a great team win with 4 guys in double figures, Buddies played hard and didn’t give up.”

 

“We now have 9 wins and 1 loss and are starting to really gel and focus as a team and I still feel we still haven’t saw our full potential yet with the league and cup up for grabs.

 

“We now have two more weeks to again improve and get ready for our next match, one game at a time and all to play for.”

 

The Colliers now sit joint top with Glasgow Storm in the league table. The Div 1 Men’s next game is on Wednesday on the 16th of March against Oatlands at the Alistair McCoist Complex in East Kilbride, 8:15pm tip off.
