Alakazam 6 - Dark & Stormy 9, at Half Time.
Slow first 5 minutes as the teams warm up to each other and the court, soon settled into some evenly matched attacks from both sides, each playing it safe.
Dark & Stormy speed the game up and start off the goals with some long shots from Antonio. Alakazam respond with Josh and Zoe up front, whenever Dark and Stormy dared slow the game down to try and hold their lead. Dark and Stormy responded late in the second half by using slower tactics, getting Felix up close to score, with blocking and passing from Antonio and Nic.

Jess starts off the second half with a goal at 30 seconds, twice around the court passing with Josh, Jess certainly addressing the speed that had Dark & Stormy dominate the first half. Antonio responds for Dark and Stormy, but largely, knowing their lack of subs, they try to slow the game down and defend.
This proves costly for them, as the changing lineup on Alakazam refreshes the team. Passing from Josh and Zoe gets everyone on their side a goal, as they creep up to almost equalise, Dark and Stormy muster their last energy and attack. Unfortunately for them Sebastians goal keeping evades them the payoff. As Dark and Stormy tire, their communication fumbles, and in a tense final 10 minutes, Zoe and Josh capitalise on this to equalise, and eventually take the win.
Final Score: Alakazam 13 - Dark & Stormy 11
