Training Day!!!!

So we had a proper training game on Thursday. One team was coached by Peter our coach and the other team was coached by Darren. The teams were as follows
Team 1:
Tim
Tommy
Big John
Brian
Gonzo
Mason
Sam
Peter

The A-Team:
Darren
Adam
Andy
Stephen
Neo
Henry
Brian
Gerry

Team one had three possibly four players from the starting five for the varsities. and for the first quarter they led 16-11. This lead however was very short lived. The A-team decided that we were going to give up the idea of a man-to-man defence and move to a two-one-two zone defence. This as expected was the turning point. By the end of the first half thanks to fast breaks and some great steals the A-Team led by the end of the second quater 35-21. Some great link up plays between the Darren Andy and Gerry ground down the moral on team 1 and thanks to some great link up play between Henry and Stephen even more points were taken.
Team 1 grew more and more frustrated and this was visible from the sounds coming from their bench which only made the A-Team more confident. Thanks to a great defence, excellent team work and sheer balls to the walls determination with a work rate A-Team went out eventual winners 78-61.
Bragging rights have well and truly being gained.
Everybody is in good spirits leading up to the tournement now and there is an air of cautious optimism about the team. We look forward to wednesday and the begining of the Varisities.
