Clacton Cannons v's Braintree Blue Devil
by Chris Tight
Director & Senior Coach
Date: Friday 17th February 2017
Venue: Braintree
Attendance: 20
Score: Blue Devils win 59 to 55.
Cannons traveled to Braintree on Friday full of
confidence after a string of good performances.
Knowing they had a tough task ahead of them
cannons started slowly on a court that was very slippery and struggled to play
at the tempo they wanted to, slowly getting used to the conditions they started
to find their form knocking down some great shots with their usual fluent style
to finish the half 5 points adrift and still very much in the game.
The second half cannons started very strongly
and was soon in a 1 point lead, unfortunately they could not keep the lead and
missed a few chances to score. That started to see the blue devils pull ahead
again.Cannons took a time out with coach Chris Tight asking for cannons to show
the team spirit we have to get us back into the game, this began Cannons fight
back which saw cannons play a full court press, players rotating from the bench
coming on showing lots of energy to make the game close. With 2 minutes left
cannons tactically used there fouls well to send blue devils players to the
foul line, when they missed some of there chances and with Rhys tight and Riley
Taylor knocking down 2,3point shots in the final minute lead to a real close
finale flurry on the court with blue devils just hanging on for the win. Coach
Chris tight said This was another great game to be involved in it really shows
how far this young team have come this season
