Canute I Oct 1996
BASKETBALL action this week saw Canute reverse a lacklustre loss against the Mountain Men of High Pe
From the Guardian Series, first published Wednesday 23rd Oct 1996.
While the victory owed much to Victor Scott's dominance under the boards, Wilkinson's shooting and Phil Ricketts' orchestration from point guard; it was the teamwork which, although faltering at times, did come together especially in defence and was instrumental in the victory.
Scott's masterly dunk in the final seconds and Harding's 15 foot jumper on the buzzer put the Atlas firmly in their place.
The next home game is Tuesday, October 22 in the cup.
Wilkinson 27, Scott 15, Harding 12, Heissenbuttel 11.
