Storming to the title

They did it.

After a long season the FireStorm team claimed the WEBBA League title with the only blip on the season an out of character defeat away to Swindon on a wet and windy Monday night.

The team finished the season with a 17 – 1 record, but very importantly for Coach also the best defensive record in the league.

‘We knew if we ran at teams for forty minutes we would have a good chance of winning, but we didnt want to just outscore people, we wanted to stop people from scoring and that mentality will definitely help the players grow when they move onto the next level, it is an old saying offence wins games but defence wins championships and our defence went a long way to securing the title for us.’ – Coach Brock

Having won the league title, FireStorm move onto the WEBBA Women’s Invitational Cup next month with the pool games at UWE, and then the Final at WISE in May.
