North Adelaide Rockets v Southern Tigers, Sat, June 5th, 6.30pm at Hillcrest
The Southern Tigers, under the direction of Coach Willie Jennette, continue on their winning way and have now recorded four wins in succession, three against sides that were above them on the premiership table. The first quarter was an even affair with the Rockets holding a slight ascendancy for most of the period, until a basket by Madeline Cunningham late in the quarter edged the Tigers in front for the first time, with scores back level at ¼ time, 21 – 21. In the second quarter, Southern were able to creep away, with Stephanie Gates having a productive scoring period. North had a poor scoring quarter in the third which cost it any chance of claiming victory when it was outgunned 20 – 8. This was the fourth time this season that North has produced a low score in one ¼ of basketball - when it happened against Forestville (5 points), West Adelaide (6 points) and Sturt (4 points) it cost them dearly losing all 3 matches. Late in the 3rd the margin had blown out to 19 points with Robyn Jennings, Ashleigh Spencer and Gilly Hendrie contributing. North closed the gap in the last but could not seriously mount a challenge, the Tigers always appearing in control. Southern's victory moves them up to 5th place at the expense of the Rockets.
