It was the first Thames Valley Kings triple-header of fixtures in the British Wheelchair Basketball national league this past Saturday.

In the first match of the day, it was the Kings III who faced Hereward Heat in Division three south, Kings started strong and continue to build on a good lead going into half-time, 24-14.

Kings were in a comfortable position to rotate their bench in the second half giving lesser experienced players the opportunity for court time. the team continued to play well and held on to pick up their first win of the season – 44-36.

The second game of the day saw Kings II take on Plymouth Fusion II in Division 2. It was Plymouth who took an early lead in the first quarter but with a change of tactics Kings rallied back in the second quarter and finished the half with a one-point lead, 16-15.

The second half was end-to-end action with the teams going basket to basket with one another and with just eight seconds left in the match, it was all tied at 34-34 but it was Plymouth who won the game in the last second and broke Kings hearts to pick up the win 36-34.

In the final game of the day, Kings first team went up against a very strong Plymouth fusion team and it was Plymouth who took an early lead with their speed but kings defence tightened up in the second quarter and they started to hit their shots and finished the half narrowly behind them, 28-24.
