Moving to the U18 Women, our Champs team took a roaring 31-9 lead at the end of the first period against the Suns. With a final tally of 101-50 it was great to see the cohesion and competitiveness of the team as they face off with top-of-the-table Cockburn this week.

The U12 Championship Boys jumped back into 1^st place with a 68-58 win over Senators who slip to 3^rd place. Griff Gardiner and Hayden Montgomerie had 12 and 10 respectively.

The U14-3 Boys used balanced scoring and a strong 2^nd half to defeat the Suns. Now sitting solidly at 3^rd place with huge potential to make noise comes Finals time. The U14-2 Boys battled valiantly against Senators. After establishing a 16-point lead to close the 3^rd, the Wolfpack held on as the opposition made their charge in the 4^th quarter. James Arnatt, Harrie Kuhn, and Ashton Thorpe had 21, 16, and 11 respectively. The U14 Championship Boys were within 12 at halftime before a deflated 3^rd quarter saw them lose touch with their opponent. Aidan Kiely and Aiden Jones had 24 and 18 respectively.

Similarly, the U16-3 Boys had a 6-point lead heading to the 4^th that turned into a 7-point defeat against Redbacks. It is great to see 5 players in double figures, including Chase Peroomal 13 points with 4 3s. The U16-2 Boys achieved a 6-point lead heading into the 4^th against Hills Raiders. Unlucky as the Hills bounced back to win by 4, despite 23 points by Jack Goosen.

The Wolves had 6 players score between 11 and 19 points in this runaway win. Now sitting *in 6^th place based on %, the Wolves will hopefully have a strong next few weeks while they fight to lock in a finals bid.

The U20-2 Men had quite the game against Suns. Trailing by 5 headed into the 2^nd half, the Wolfpack gave up a 10-27 3^rd quarter. How resilient they were to come barnstorming back with a 35-18 4^th quarter of their own. In the end, we ran out of time to complete the comeback. Jaemon Yam and Harrison McGuinness had 24 and 21 respectively. The U20 Championship Men had a competitive game with Cockburn, falling in the end by just 5 points.
