Game 7 - Andorra 75 - 80 Scotland (81712)

A great win to end the season against Andorra. Both teams put in maximum effort of crunch time. It was a tense and tight affair through the first half with both sides trading small leads in a low scoring contest. We held a 2 point lead at the half.

The game exploded into life in the second half. We were magnificent in the 3rd quarter, outscoring the Andorrans 22-6 in a suffocating defensive effort. We held a 20 point lead early in the 4th. Things started to go downhill in the 4th quarter as Andorra fought back in a spirited comeback. We managed to hold on just about but all credit to Andorra for making a match of it. It is understandable how they have managed a good campaign with some marquee wins, we are delighted to beat them tonight and avoid a winless campaign.


Our best performer of the night was once again PF David Dawson (54539704) with 11 points, 11 Rebounds, 6 Assists and 5 Blocks over 30 minutes. This has to be the single most complete performance by a player in the whole campaign so far.

It was great to see some contributions off the bench in some of our younger core of players. These guys can keep improving and hopefully propel us for forward into a respectable performance in the consolation tournament next season!

Managers I ask you to keep up the good work training your young Scottish players!

Scrimmage - Scotland 108 - 94 Luxembourg (82551)

A convincing win in the end against a similar level opponent. We got off to a slow start trailing after a quarter but very quickly stormed into a lead in the third quarter and held onto to it without any concerns.

Our best performer of the night was SF Somerled Duilach (54539406) with 38 points and 8 rebounds over 34 minutes.

Up next is a scrimmage against Azerbaijan. We will look to make amends for the Overtime defeat that they inflicted on us in the competitive qualifying campaign.

Been a while since I have updated. Bit of a hectic festive period.

Scrimmage results since last update

Azerbaijan 119 - 109 Scotland (82588) LOSS A second defeat to Azerbaijan. We tip the cap to Coach Bill who is an elite manager in Italy and is building a solid side with Azerbaijan.

Scotland 111 - 98 The Netherlands (82657) WIN A win against a depleted dutch side who opted to field youngsters rather than their 21yo's. We can only beat what is in front of us and there was still a sprinkling of talented players on the field for The Netherlands

Puerto Rico 111 - 126 Scotland (82712) WIN A routine win seemingly but it was a closely fought match until the closing moments of the match.

Andorra 107 - 94 Scotland (82785) LOSS A defeat against Andorra this time who get revenge for the defeat they suffered to us in the last match of competitive play. We just could not cope with their 2 star players Culubret who had 13 blocks, or Joan who had 38 points.

Scotland 108 - 95 Ireland (82828) WIN A routine win against Ireland who opted to play their younger players.

We say goodbye to our 21 year olds and note some achievements below

325 points for Gary MacIlduy moved him into 10th place in our total points scored in a season, just sneaking in there as 323 was the mark to beat.

79 assists for 20 year old David Borthwick moved him to joint 4th in the assists in a single season category. Impressive by the young man and who knows, maybe he can come back and go one better next season? 92 assists next season would get them the record total assists in our u21 history.
