Last night we finally where able to break our losing streak with a very hard-fought win against the Surrey Scorchers. This was a game that we had to win if we are to keep pushing for an end of season playoff spot.

It was a much better team performance. The commitment and effort were evident and even when we went behind by double figures, we should some real grit to claw ourselves back into the game.

Once again, we had a great travelling contingent of supporters who really helped us get over the line in this one, so I thank you for that!

Rashad led all scorers, but it was a good team effort to get him the ball where he is most effective close to the basket. Big plays from RB and Ty in the second half kept the scoreboard ticking over. But the biggest clutch play was made by our captain Elvisi down the stretch in the fourth quarter that took the game away from Surrey. This game was big for us in so many ways.

Now we have a very short turn around for todays which is not ideal, but I guess coming off the back of a win makes it a little more palatable!

Welcome to the coaching staff, players, and support teams from Caledonia for this BBL championship game.

ENJOY THE GAME.
