Armitage Scoops WEBBA MVP

FireStorm had completed the WEBBA double winning the League and the Women’s Invitational Cup, and it was great for everyone involved, to make it a unique triple Pip Armitage pick up the MVP for the season.

With FireStorm doing so well obviously numerous players featured in the top of the stats tables but Pip led the pack finishing as the leagues top scorer, top three point shooter and in the top ten for Free Throw %.  Coupled with consistent dominant rebounding you begin to see the whole picture, of a player who had a strong resurgent season.

WEBBA Women’s Invitational Cup

It was the first WEBBA Women’s Invitational Final, but it was the fourth time that Braves and FireStorm would be facing off against each other.

The game started slowly for both teams, I guess big match nerves, and half-time could not have come soon enough.  The second half though was a different game and the energy that FireStorm hit the floor with was a game changer, and FireStorm never really looked like losing the game or momentum whatever Braves tried to throw at them.
