County Upper battled hard in the second half and played with great heart and spirit despite being up against it. Noah Petrovic stood out for the visitors on his way to 13 points but it was Myerscough who stretched out their lead to 41 points at the end of the 3rd eventually taking the game 84 – 35.

“I have to hand it to County Upper who battled and showed great character today, their record doesn’t reflect the way they are set up, they are a hard working team who play the right way” Commented Myerscough Head Coach Neal Hopkins after the game “We stuck to the task at hand and although I don’t think we were ruthless enough on the offensive end I am pleased with the way the guys handled their business”.
Next up for County Upper is a trip to Charnwood, whilst Myerscough host Noel Baker School on Monday evening.
