Some epic images from a battle Royal against the Leeds Demons 2 team in our Playoff Quarter Finals 2nd leg, with a 15 point deficit to overcome from the first leg it was going to be a very stern challenge which the boys attacked from the start - it was hard fought competitive basketball that showed what character this team has built since coming together 8 months ago.
We lost by 4 points in the end but what a game!!

Match Report.
D1 Playoffs Quarter Finals Leg 1
Leeds Demons 2 vs Yorkshire Royals
A tough gig indeed, although a loss by 15, which I honestly believe we can turn around at home.
Q1 23-20
Fast, furious and focused is my simple summation of this Q, the boys were on it.
Q2 15-12 Dedicated defence, and the ball just not falling.
Q3 18-21 Despite dodgy calls we managed to inch ahead
Q4 20-8 frustrated with the non calls this ruined the game.
Back to us on the 3rd.
Royals on 3..
Tough gig this evening, it's Round 1 of the Playoff Quarter Finals and we are away to 3rd placed Leeds Demons 2.
Should be a excellent arm wrestle, wish us luck!!
ROYALS ON 3..
