The Flames Beat the Amazons in the Semifinal
Tuesday night, with supporters in tow, the Flames drove to Bognor with hopes of securing the victory on the road that would guarantee them a place in the final of the Sussex Cup. Fuelled by cheers (a rarity in away games), the Flames outplayed the Amazons and will face the Suns in the final.
Among the supporters was Anne Baverstock, the Brighton Phoenix Club Administrator who has offered the following brief observations:
In the 1st quarter we ran in good points and this gave us confidence.
We showed great determination during the 2nd quarter and maintained a good scoring rate.
The 3rd quarter was the key to the game – defense was great and we managed to hold them to 7 points.
By the 4th quarter, they had been COMPLETELY OUTPLAYED and simply ran out of ideas!
I was very impressed with rebounding throughout the game. Also, I can't measure possession but we definitely had the most of it!
Final Score: Amazons 48 – Flames 71
Scores by Quarter: Q1: 14-12; Q2: 14-20; Q3: 7-14; Q4: 13-25 -> The Flames outscored the Amazons in each quarter, aside from the first quarter.
Player Scores: Emma (1pt); Jemma (2pts); Bea (6pts); Liz (8pts); Kara (8pts); Katie (13pts); Zsuzsanna (16pts); Maria (17pts)
MVP of the Game: Zsu-octopus-arms-kangaroo-legs-zsanna! Awesome steals. Killer moves in the paint. Rebounds. Rebounds. Rebounds. Unstoppable.
The Flames will play in the Sussex Cup Final against South Down Suns this Saturday, May 17 at BACA – 3pm tip-off.
