Wednesday afternoon saw Myerscough host Northwest rivals Priestley College in the EABL, the first fixture back after the Christmas break. Despite a spirited first half performance from the visitors Myerscough with 7 players in double digit scoring cruised to a 116 – 54 victory.
After a slow start from Myerscough, who were restricted by the well-disciplined Priestley side, the score at the break stood at 38 – 25 to the hosts. Priestley had every right to be pleased with their first half efforts and despite trailing had been the better team. Myerscough established rhythm in the second half and played at a pace the visitors struggled to match, eventually outscoring Priestley 78 – 27 over the final two periods to run out comfortable 116 – 54 winners.
Montel Dennis who finished with a game high 18 points commented after the game ‘I think we found it hard to get into rhythm after the Christmas break, eventually we got there and our second half performance was good, we know we have to make a lot of improvements in order to make the step up to the next level’.
Emmanuel Kabengele came out with 17 points 5 boards, Whilst Joao Paiva and Alex Roberts wrapped up with 16 a piece for Myerscough, Ollie Richardson led the way for the visitors finishing with 13 points and 5 boards.
