Thursday 13^th January

Today Fair Oak entered two basketball teams into a qualifying tournament at Wildern for the County Finals which will be held later in the year. Only the winning side from the event would qualify. Teams were split into two groups with each team playing every other team in their pool. The top teams would make it through to the final with the runners up playing off for third place. Fair Oak A began with a closely fought four three loss to Netley Abbey but followed that up with two wins against Freegrounds B and Upham. These results meant that our A team finished as runners up in their group. Fair Oak B drew their opening fixture one all with Freegrounds A and then beat Berrywood and Durley which meant that they topped their group and went through to the final. In the third/fourth place play-off, Fair Oak A beat Berrywood three two to finish third overall. In the final Fair Oak B played Netley Abbey. Fair Oak started well and took an early lead but unfortunately Netley Abbey fought back to level the score and then won the game late on with a second basket. Both of our sides should be really proud of their performances today. Well done to all of those who participated.
