Myerscough cruise to victory over Sefton



 
 
Myerscough improve to 7 wins with 0 losses in Division 4 after commanding 99 - 46 victory over Sefton Stars last Sunday 
 
Sefton started off with a no fear mentality and took the fight to Myerscough seeing the score 11- 10 to Myerscough after the first 5 minutes. The insertion of the second platoon seem to get Myerscough going after a three by captain David Walsh and a great defensive effort lead by point guard Mason Maynard. Sefton Stars trailed 15- 22 at the end of the 1stperiod.
With the intensity now raised, Myerscough started to apply pressure to the home team. The guards where denying the passes to the wings and the interior unit played physically and dominant forcing Sefton into bad shots and even a few 24 shot clock violations. The defensive effort only allowed 7 points this quarter, that with points in transition Myerscough went into the half time break leading 45-22.
Down but not out, Sefton stars showed great resilience after the break through their captain Dan Walsh. Kiko Stravrev responded with an offensive onslaught hitting 4 of Myerscough’s 6 baskets in the first 5 minutes. As the scoring rate picked up from both teams the 3rd period ended 33-7.
With a secure lead Myerscough played loose, Tadgh rifled in four 3’s followed by a quick 3 in transition by Will Shaw. Nils Ozolins got in on the action by drawing a foul on the score making It a 3 point play. Sefton’s Iffy Emeka-Anyakwo battled hard in the paint all game and managed to grab 7 of the teams 13 points scored in the final period. Myerscough held onto a comfortable lead to finish up 46 - 99 at the end of regulation.
Myerscough now face undefeated Newcastle Knights on Sunday in what could be a huge game in defining final league position.
