Tonights players were, Bambi and Thumper, The Wasp, the Bee. The Stallion and our Coach, the Bear.

Coach Bear after warming us up gave us shooting drills, a fun weaving drill with defence plus a new 1/2 court game drill.
 
We then played a 3 aside half court game for 15 Minutes then full court for 20mins. It was Brilliant. Man on Man power! The Bee on Thumper, Bambi on the Wasp. The Stallion on the Bear!  Pink against Black. The PINKS were YARR and Black were WHARR!  
 
Thank you Bear for a excellent workout. All of us left the court with sweat pouring! The Best game Ever!
Due to some unfortunate cancellations we have moved Drinks after Basketball to a very important date which we hope more of you can make. As it is Shirley and Sarita’s birthday week. So please put in your Diary Wednesday 13th August 
Next Wednesday is the start of the Tube strike. It comes in at 4pm next Wednesday. We need a pledge of at least 6 players or I will cancel the week. I the Bee pledge to be the first player. We need 5 More. 
Please let us know if you think you definitely won’t make it and those that can make it.

Curtain up at 7pm sharp.
The court was a Theatre.  The Players Marta, Louise, Andreea, Shirley and later Natalie. Playing against Sarita, Sally, Dania, Nancy and later Delrina.
The first half a even 4 on 4. The Applause was loud, almost every minute a ball went in. On both sides we clapped. Encore Encore! We were fast.
Shirley was put in the spotlight. Shooting 2 from the free throw lines. Unfortunately she forgot her lines and didn’t score.
There was a curtain call from Delrina and 2 water breaks. The theatre was hot.
In the Drama there were moments of pantomime.’ I’m behind you!’ Called Dania. Sally threw the ball without looking. Dania went on to score. Ready for her close (lay) up!
After the Intermission. Natalie arrived 27 minutes in. Sian’s stand in.
We now played 5 aside. Delrina was the Villain for the pinks. He stole the ball with his comedy arms. The Pinks turned Black due to the heat. After missing my cue 3 times I made a basket that brought the house down!  But then so did Nancy and Natalie.
There were 3 Leading Ladies on the Blue team Marta, Andreea and Shirley.  The Leading Diva’s for the Pinks were Sarita and Dania, Sally and Nancy in the supporting roles.
Break a leg said Nancy as we collided and I nearly broke my neck. Who mentioned the Scottish play?
Andreea trod the boards at both ends. You can tell this play is going to run and run!
The curtain dropped at 8pm
Encore Encore us luvvies cried!
See you next Wednesday
BADABING!

 We started with Shooting Drills, Marble Arch’ing the ball into the basket.  At first none went in, then Holloway one after another to Highbury ball and Islington.
This lead to a game of the first to get 5 baskets, then we swopped partners and the game started again.  Edgware Road’ing our way Kingscross‘ing the court. 3 Moorgate games later and we were back playing half Earl’s court. 
This was a Epping game with non stop Acton that came to a Northholt at 8pm. Feeling hot and Old street we Tootingbec’ed our way home.

it’s just too darn hot to be funny – so I’m going to be factual instead …
Playing for the Blacks were Shirley, Sarita & Nancy in opposition for the Blues were Marta, Dania and Sally.  We rocked, well I am writing the write up, so it is really how I see the game … and I’d like my team to win ….
Shirley got some great baskets, Sarita did some fantastic moves and Nancy got the slam dunks, but the Blues still rocked, Marta was both calm and deadly, Dania was fast and furious and I was hot and a fabulous blocker.  We rocked to victory with the Blacks also rocking to their own victory, it was possibly too close to call at the end.
We all left tired but happy, with the time simply whizzing by.
Subs paid by Marta, Shirley paid Del and took all bibs.
Good game everyone.
