Pride and West Lancs Warriors A teams are still playing!
No one would have thought that the game would have had such a twist at the end. Five minutes before the end of the game Pride was ahead 29-20. At that point Pride lost their concentration, stopped playing defense allowed offensive rebounds to materialise into baskets for the West Lancs team and as a result Pride was behind 29-30 in the last minute of the game. A free throw by Stan Barrow sent the game to extra time 30-30.
The next three minutes have had a number of failed attacks and missed lay ups to finish 32-32.
The second extra time was even more tense than the first. At 36-36 , West Lancs committed yet another turnover, Pride went for the fast break 10 seconds before the end of the game and the two shots made, were missed. Final score 36-36.
That result of course requires a rematch to decide the winner.
The tournament organisers had to stop the game, as the facility was not available beyond that time.
