Arrows down the Team Solent again

Killamarsh 86 Arrows Solent 74

The Arrows young team continued to build on the momentum of last week’s dramatic Patrons Cup victory over Northumbria by recording their first League points with a well deserved victory over Team Solent by 86 – 74. RB Clyburn iii led all scorers in the game with a double - double of 28 points and 11 rebounds in the game.

The Arrows began brightly with James Bamfield striking twice from behind the “3 point arc” while 7 points from Clyburn helped the Arrows take a closely contested quarter by 22 – 21. The Arrows introduced more athleticism into the second quarter as Akin Lisk – Carew, Joseph Baugh and Andy Chiguri helped the Arrows to a 44 – 36 interval lead.

The Arrows speed really hurt Team Solent in the third quarter as the Arrows defence began to blunt all attacking intentions in a session taken by the Arrows 22 – 6. Sam Spare who would finish with 12 rebounds led the defence who made stop after stop.

The Arrows tired somewhat in the fourth quarter and Solent made a run while the Arrows staked up turnovers before running out winners by 86 – 74.

The Arrows offence consistently scored in each quarter while the defensive effort in the third quarter proved decisive. The Arrows now have a 1 – 1 league record.

The Arrows next face Eastside Eagles on 5^th November at Killamarsh 5.45pm
