Two more games, and two more wins for our women’s squad over the weekend – The perfect run now extended to 16, and just six wins away from a perfect regular season run.
Our men’s squad had a 50/50 weekend, scoring a 16 point win on home floor on Saturday night over Diamond Valley – Tristan Forsyth once again a standout with 25 points and 11 rebounds, DeMarcus Gatlin adding 21 and George Blagojevic with 13.
Sunday in Kilsyth was a tougher day out, with our lads this time on the wrong end of the 16 point margin. George Blagojevic was one rebound away from a double double at 9 paired with 18 points, and Tristan Forsyth again one of the big points getters with 18.
