The view... CAPITALS SBL WOMEN BYE WEEK SBL MEN by Sean Connelly Head Coach CAPS V NORTHSIDE This week we played Northside Wizards 2 at home on an early Sunday morning. The game started as we expected with the adjust- ments we made through the week giving confidence to our playing group. We got out to an early lead and controlled the tempo of the game. Josh Leaney started on fire land- ing our first six points, While Lachlan Venus had a big im- pact on the defensive end. We headed into the first break up 22 – 17. The start of the second quarter was spear headed by Xavier Cooke as we continued where we left off in the First quarter. We went on an early 11 – 0 run to push out the lead LAST WEEK'S WRAP UP 33-17 on the back of some great end to end basketball with our defensive pushing proving to much for the Wiz- ards. We continued to control the tempo as we headed in to the main break up 53 – 31. The 3rd quarter we started out a little flat but continued to control the game with our tempo. The boys cohesion on defence started to fracture a little as we allowed Northside to run and put points on the board to close the gap. We went into the final break up 67 – 54. The 4th was the same as the 3rd as our defence didn’t improve. We went through a large part of the quarter where we got outside our system and struggled to keep the score ticking over. We al- lowed Northside to run as we started to force our offence. Matt Booysen lead the team by taking control to steady the ship as we got in to our exe- cution and managed to close out the game late to gain a 13 point win. This week we are on the road as we take on the inform South West Metro Pirates on Sunday at the Hibiscus Cen- tre.
