By the last quarter, we were getting tired and our good play slipped.  CD Phoenix had fresh legs and managed to get away within the last 5mins.  Our passes lacked accuracy and the end result was 40-33.

Well played all and especially Abi who was voted player of the match for her excellent shooting.
