Flyers Stop the Stealers
Flyers 62-47 Oxford Stealers
For the last home game of the year and the Flyers were in no mood to lose control of their home court - except that Oxford Stealers did not know the script and from the tip sunk a rapid 3 point basket that caught the home team on the hop.
Flyers Clip the Eagles Wings
Flyers 73:64 Exeter Eagles
Flyers Captain Andre Bayliss walked off court at the end of the game with a smile on his face . His team had just claimed their second home league win with a 9-point margin over Exeter Eagles. Giving them a 4 from 2 record and positioning them mid table in the league.
Flyers Down the Rockets
Woking Blackhawk Flyers 85:60 Reading Rockets
For the first home league game of the season the Flyers hosted league leaders Reading Rockets who had won their first two games against Oxford Stealers and Southampton University.
A tentative start to the game saw the teams exchanging baskets. The Flyers taking a marginal lead during the first quarter, tied at the end of the quarter 16:16 and Rockets taking a one point lead by the middle of the second quarter 24:25.
Flyers Retain the Surrey Rosebowl
The Surrey Rosebowl Tournament was held at the Surrey Sports Park on Sunday and the Woking Blackhawk Flyers were out to retain the title having won it three times in the past four years.
It was inevitable
End of the Season for the Flyers as they Down the Rockets
Woking Blackhawk Flyers 91:39 Reading Rockets
A dominant performance for their last regular season league home game saw the Flyers resoundingly beat their local rivals Reading Rockets 91:39. Unfortunately progression to the play-offs also required Thames Valley Cavaliers to beat Kent Crusaders which they did not achieve.
The Rockets took the initial 2-point lead, they followed that with Foard sinking a long three taking the score to 4:5. That was the last time in the game that Rockets led.
Flyers Put Cavaliers to the Sword
Woking Blackhawk Flyers 80:70 Thames Valley Cavaliers
With only three games to go, each one is vital in keeping the Flyers prospects of progressing to the play-offs alive.
Thames Valley Cavaliers had only suffered a single defeat throughout the season, the Flyers were relishing the chance to inflict a second defeat – and they were not to be denied.
The opening minutes of the game both sides traded baskets until the score was 5 each when the Flyers took control and went on a 12 point run which the Cavaliers did not respond to, the score widen to 17:5.
Whilst the Cavaliers did close the margin the Flyers had a 6 point margin at the first break.
The second quarter became a close fought contest with the Flyers relinquishing their lead by the half break with a two-point deficit 39:41. There was a crucial thirty seconds where hustler Dan Marshall rolled his ankle and big man Jim Grainger ‘tweeked’ his knee suddenly the bench did not seem so strong. The Flyers maintained their confidence and round out this period.
