2021 - Round 3

Only one game this week. Recap below:


A’s vs. Hubtitans


With the A’s playing a timely early game and a bye week for all other teams, the opportunity for the club to show its colours was primed, and the pub was booked for beers afterward.


1pm Reds faced off against currently undefeated Hub Titans, a young and tall lineup. Reds a little short this week, so Mike and Lachy filled in to give them 6 with Scott, Josh, Sam and Cotton filling out the roster. 


The game started off well for the Reds, jumping out the gate with some strong shooting by the actual A’s and doing their best to disrupt the Hub Titans good ball movement. With their superior size, Hubtitans found it easy to get the ball inside, but thanks to the length of Josh and Cotton, made it more difficult to finish once there. Scott and Sam made some open looks through a quick passing offence and A’s were looking strong going into the break. 


The game continued to tussle back and forth, but after spending a little too long in a man-to-man and some potential bailouts on the drive, Reds had to change back to a zone. Sadly it was a little too late for Reds to clamber back into the game. 


The cheering from the Reds on the sideline was silencing... oh I meant silent. No one came out to support... just Lachy and Mike made it to the pub and it was a disappointment to say the least. 


Reds down 74-70.
