WBBL Trophy
Oaklands Wolves 42-62 Sevenoaks Suns (4-21, 17-29, 30-52)

The holders made a statement of intent right from the tip-off as they cruised to victory in Hertfordshire in a real team effort.
Leading scorers – Morris 8, Freeman 8, Pritchard 5, Milligan 5 (Wolves), Koppl 17, Carr 16, Clark 11 (Suns)

Game hero(es) – Julia Koppl posted a smart 17 points from 60% shooting and added 8 boards, while Cat Carr had an all-action 16 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.
