A routine double double from Emmanuel Kabengele along with 18 points from Montel Dennis was enough to earn Myerscough a vital victory against Milton Keynes.
In a free scoring and high paced game Myerscough and Milton Keynes, both undefeated in this year’s North Conference battled through every possession. Outstanding shooting from the charity stripe (18/20) and aggressive defence down the stretch were enough to guide the home side past a Max Denham led Milton Keynes 85 – 73. Myerscough led from the beginning but Milton Keynes put in a battling performance to keep the score close throughout even pulling back a 13 point deficit to trail by just two at the break. The second half saw the home team outscore the visitors 40 – 30 to take the 12 point victory in what was a highly entertaining EABL encounter.

Emmanuel Kabengele finished with 13 points and 11 boards, Montel Dennis chipped in with 18 points whilst Chris Bwana dished out 6 assists for Myerscough. Max Denham finished with 19 for the visitors with Michael New finishing up with 18 personal for Milton Keynes.
