12.2.05: The MBA: Greenwich Admirals on top of the world..
The talented Seven Ton Maids 'A' side fell at home 68-73 to the Greenwich Admirals, as the Admirals lasted the
stretch to inflict a loss on their league rivals.
This was the first match ever to be played in the brand new £7M sports centre at the Sevenoaks School. The complex
This was the first match ever to be played in the brand new £7M sports centre at the Sevenoaks School. The complex
contains a large futuristic sports hall, with 2 full size basketball courts including electronic scoreboards. This is a big
step for the venue standards of the MBA, and hopefully the trend of more good venues becoming available
will continue in this way.
Both teams reported for the game minus a few regular players, but Greenwich saw the opportunity to give debuts to
Both teams reported for the game minus a few regular players, but Greenwich saw the opportunity to give debuts to
new signings, Finnish player, Kimmo Nurminen and Terry Efeosa Egharevba.
This turned out to be a very close and competitive game, with both sides exchanging basket for basket. Greenwich
managed to be in front at the end of each quarter, although the Seven Ton Maids had taken the lead at least once
during the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd quarters, but not the final quarter. Greenwich's biggest lead came in the 4th quarter
when they lead by 9 points with only a few minutes left on the clock. Coach, Tim Lewis called a time-out for STM and
set up a full-court press. This almost won the Tons the game, as Greenwich struggled to beat the press. STM converted
4 of the turn-overs for 8 quick points, as Greenwich could only reply with 1 point from a free throw. Greenwich still
lead by 2 points with about 20 seconds to go, when they managed to safely set up a four corner offence in the STM half
of the court. Greenwich's Ali Ballentine sealed the win with a well taken 3-point basket just before the final buzzer.
