First Win of the 2012-2013 Season

The Flames Take the Match V Crawley Lightning

Brighton Phoenix Flames played their first game of the new season on Monday night. We had a great home crowd to support us and managed to satisfy them with a win over Crawley Lightning (37-30). It was pretty low scoring emphasising the tough defence at both ends and not-too-hot shooting with first game nerves felt by many. The game was tied for much of the first three quarters and we struggled to make an impact on their big zone. All of the Flames took their fair share of knocks against physically tough opponents. We fielded 11 players and have more registered than ever before boding well for a strong season ahead. It was fantastic to see the scoring spread over so many members of the team.

Well done to the Flames on their first win and here’s to many more to come...
