RL Signs GUB Champs League Men’s Game of the Week – YMCA vs. Wildcats
YMCA continued their red‑hot start to the RL Signs GUB Champs League Men’s season with a commanding 127–66 victory over the Wildcats in the Game of the Week. The unbeaten ladder leaders were in control from the outset, setting the tempo early and never allowing the visitors a look-in as they showcased their depth and firepower.
The high-scoring duo of Kuol Reech (26 points) and Phil Wickham (25) led the charge in another sharp offensive display, while YMCA’s balanced attack was on full show with four additional players reaching double figures. Ball movement, defensive pressure and relentless transition offence underpinned a dominant team performance from the competition’s top side.
William Jones did the heavy lifting for the Wildcats, pouring in 23 points to keep his team fighting, with Cory Jones providing strong support with 18. However, a lack of depth proved costly as YMCA’s wave of contributors wore the Wildcats down across four quarters.
YMCA remain the only undefeated team in the competition, improving to a perfect 4–0 record and sitting proudly atop the table. The Wildcats will look to regroup next week as they continue the hunt for their first win of the season.
