Bristol Academy Flyers Under 14’s clip Eagles wings

Bristol Academy Flyers Under 14 team claimed their first win of the season with a 52-46 victory over Exeter Eagles. With Adrian Turner taking over coaching duties from Liam Anderson Browne it was all change in the coaching hot seat.

The 1^st quarter started well for the home side with South West players Dan Rigby and Alex Bloomer showing why have been chosen to represent their region with some great individual efforts. Both teams showed they have a little way to go with their fundamental skills as there were a lot of open shots going begging but the Bristol, side were the slightly more consistent team. They finished the end of the first quarter 17-9 up.

Coach Turner made use of his bench well in the second quarter bringing in younger players such as Marcus King and Louis Morris who showed great enthusiasm, justifying their inclusion in the U14’s National League team.  Their up-tempo defence combined with some good team play kept the Bristol side in the lead at half time, 30-23.

The 3^rd quarter was where the Flyers took control with some great offensive play by James Bradbury, who also represents the South West Area Performance Centre. The icing on the cake in the third quarter was Taylor Samuels’s deep baseline 2 which led to a massive crowd eruption from the sideline. This didn’t help the Exeter’s coach’s cause, especially considering Samuels is his nephew! This shot amongst others helped the Flyers have a 46-29 lead going into the final quarter.

Exeter Eagles chipped away at the Flyers lead and it became a tense final few minutes but the Flyers pulled through with some great rebounding from Joe Murray towards the end of the game. Coach Turner was proud of all his players especially considering the relatively short amount of time he has been with them as Head Coach “ It was a great team performance today. We knew we would have to play together if we were going to have success. Let’s hope this is the building block that kick-starts our season”.
