Exeter Otters 51Thames Valley Kings 53
Thames Valley Kings staged a remarkable comeback in their British Wheelchair Basketball Premier Division match to beat Exeter Otters.
Kings’ first team rallied back in the second half against the Exeter Otters in their British Wheelchair Basketball Premier Division fixture this past Sunday to pick up a huge 2 point win, 53-51 away from home.
Kings found themselves 12 points down at half-time after pressure in the first quarter from a well-drilled Otters team, a solid defensive display in the third and fourth quarters saw Otters lead chipped away as Kings found their rhythm and the win in the closing stages of a very competitive game.
Kings Liam Barker was the game’s top scorer, with 19 points and four assists, and older brother, Reece led the game on rebounds with 13.
The win sees the Kings move level on points with Coventry’s CWBA at the top of the league with two wins from two. They next face London Titans in the Premier League on Saturday, November 6.
Kings third team will be in Division Three South action this Saturday in the return match against Aces second team in Aylesbury at Stoke Mandeville Stadium.
