In div1, the clash between Nene Valley and
Ouse Valley produced probably the best
match up of the season so far.
Nene won the first 18-12 and the second
19-15 to hold a 10 point lead at the break
but it was always close and Vipers hit back,
taking the third 15-18 to trail 52-45 and set
up a thrilling fourth.
Two early Vipers baskets reduced the lead
to 4 points but Nene responded with a 9-0
run to regain control. Vipers came again with
a 0-9 run of their own to bring it back to 4.
A 3 from Nene and 1 from the line in the last
minute was enough to take the game 67-59.
but it was a cracking game and could have
gone either way.
