Nailsea Lose Hard Fought Game vs A&S Police, 43 - 49

Nailsea played in a hard fought game against the strong A&S Police team this week, at home at Scotch Horn Leisure Centre. The game ended with a 43 - 49 score line.

While the Nailsea defense looked strong throughout large portions of the game, shots seemed not to be falling, and the team struggled to score at the offensive end. Game scoring was lead by Jason Boulton with 12 points, while MVP honours went to Angus Roach (quite possibly linked to his amazing end of half tip in slam!!)

UWE Forfeit Game vs. Nailsea and Pull Out of League

For those who came on Wednesday to Scoth Horn they will have sadly witnessed the non-arrival of the UWE team, due to face Nailsea in their first clash of the season. Unfortunately UWE have pulled out of WEBBA this year due to lack of players and so the match was cancelled this week, and the follow up in March will also be removed from the fixtures list. Since UWE have pulled out of the league, no points were awarded to Nailsea for this forefeit.

Obviously everyone was disappointed that there was no game, players and fans alike. Thanks to the supporters who did turn up, hopefully next time the game will happen as scheduled! Nailsea play their next game on Friday 2nd Nov away at Filton, and their next home game is the following week on Wed 7th Nov vs A&S Police.
