The u16s league started two weeks ago with Nene Valley 1 playing Huntingdon Hawks in the season opener. Nene were too strong on this occassion and despite having a team with several new players ran out comfortable winners 67-23.

The second game between Nene Valley 2 and East Cambs Warriors was postponed and has been re-schedules for October 29.

The senior PL division 1 opened with Nene Valley Venom v Kings Lynn Wolfs on Sunday and was an excellent game with a nail biting finish.

Nene won the first three quarters and were 61-40 ahead going into the final period, but a great response from Wolfs saw them win the fourth 13-30. It wasn't quite enough to win them the game, Nene held on to win 74-70, but it did provide a nail biting last few minutes.

u16 games at the weekend produced a couple of exciting if not spectacular games.

Nene Valley Venom v Huntingdon Hawks II was a low scoring game as Nene missed numerous opportunities to win the game comfortably which allowed Hawks to take control.

Nene led 6-5 at the first break but Hawks were ahead through the second and third quarters and led by 10 points with 6 minutes remaining. Nene then produced a17-4 run that swept them to a 42-39 win and possibly the most undeserved win of the season that keeps them unbeaten and top of the table.

The second game saw Huntingdon Hawks I v East Cambs Warriors.

Hawks obvious height advantage saw them take a big lead, 22-6 at the end of the first and 32-13 at half-time. A spirited third quarter was won by 17-8 by Warriors as they reduced the deficit to 10 points but they couldn't keep it going and Hawks won 50-34.

This weekend is the u14s turn to shake off the Christmas break rust as they return to the court.

Nene Valley I v East Cambs Warriors at 12.30pm followed by Vytis v Huntingdon Hawks at 1.45pm.

Division 1 games resumed this week with Peterborough Tauras v Corby Cobras.

A slow start from Corby allowed Tauras to take a comfortable 26-5 first quarter lead which they extended to 52-24 at half-time. A better second half kept the scoring fairly even but the damage was done and Tauras won 90-64.

Tauras jump back to the top of the table but have played more games. Huntingdon Hawks in second place are unbeaten and have games against Vytis and Corby in the next couple of weeks.
