Bridgwater Bucs 100, Minehead Eagles 54

THE game started off slowly and with Bucs playing a full court press on defence to try and force errors from the Eagles.

Early inside baskets from Tad Ulinas, Jack Roberts and newly signed Mark Shroeder helped Buccs to settle into a rhythm and a last second three pointer from Jake Jones finished off the first half with Buccs leading 49-31.

In the second half Buccs experience started to shine through.

Quick ball movement and tough defence from Phil Rogers, Mason Galloway and Tom Baker prevented Eagles from getting back in the game.

A solid shooting performance from joint MVPs Jake Chidgey and Richard Nurse helped Buccs to reach 100 points for a win which keeps them top of the table.
