May 2013

28th May: The 1st team played their last game of the season tonight away against West Lothian Wolves and lost.

24th May: Both Pace & 47s lost tonight. The 47's were playing their final game of the season and it all came down to the game against Lions. Whoever won this game would take 2nd place in Division 2. It was a tight game with 47s causing Lions to turn the ball over and give 47s a chance to win the game. Graeme managed to get into the lane for a layup but it rimmed out and 47s finish the season in 3rd - a great result, something to be very proud of.

The 1st team played away to Spartans on Saturday 11th May in a very tight game. Ultimately our intense team defence made the difference and after 3 tight quarters, where neither team had more than a 5 point advantage, Pleasance had a game wining run in Q4 to finish 59-44.

On Friday 17th, Pace avenged the previous week's loss against Midlothian Madness. A much better game than the 24-42 loss 7 days before saw Pace win comfortably 54-38.

April 2013

The Division 1 team had a successful night in Fife beating Dunfermline Reign 84-69. It was a tight game iced in the 4th quarter with successive 3 pointers and then 6-6 from the free throw line. A great effort.

Particular thanks to the support from Pace & 47 stars George, Kenny & Finlay who went for a combined 22 point and some great minutes, especially to Finlay whose 1st touch in Division 1 yielded a 3 point play.

Pleasance are once again competing at this year's Claymore Cup in Inverness, held on Sunday 14th April. Good luck to the team - a mix of 1st, 47's and Pace players.

On Friday 12th April, Pace & 47's lost their matches by a combined 6 points. Pace had been beating Blaze A for the entire match until the final 33 seconds. Here are some highlights.
