7.05PM The Splashers 66 v Wolves 46
The physicality of the Wolves was no match for the scoring power of the Splashers with 4 of the 6 Splashers scoring double digit points for the game. It was a tight contest for the first three quarters with no team leading by double digits at any time, however with 2 of the Wovles bigger players fouled out at the start of the 4th it made it too difficult to keep up with the young Splashers. The same usual suspects came up large for the Splashers this week and they will need to continue this hot form next week against the Greenhills Beavers.
