After a decidedly shaky
first half, the Falcons spread their wings and attacked the game against Orewa
North Thunder. At every opportunity the Falcons swooped to gain possession of
the ball and, with renewed purpose, they passed it down the court, making every
shot count. Tight defensive play left Orewa North with little room for
manoeuvre. An exceptional second half's play ended with victory to the Falcons;
the score 15:5. The player of the day was Mattias Courts, both for his ability
to find space and his superb shooting, including a couple of beautifully taken
penalties. (C Sancto)
