Their Cadette Women, Cadet Men and Junior Women all won RAF Scottish Cups, and their Senior Women brought a Sportserve Scottish Cup as well.  City of Edinburgh had a great tournament also.  Their Junior Men turned in one of their strongest peformances of the year to earn their RAF Scottish Cup and the Kings Senior Men put on show in the final game of the weekend to earn their second straight Sportserve Scottish Cup crown.  The Banchory Stags and Midlothian Saints were victorious in the Chairman&#39;s Cups competitions, and even though they did not bring home a cup, the Clark Eriksson Fury fielded an impressive three teams in the field.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Win or lose we saw great effort and are proud of all the participants and grateful to all of the volunteers who made this weekend happen.  We are also grateful to all the parents and partners who supported the players and coaches and officials who have worked so hard this season to reach this point.  The game needs all of us, and we appreciate your service.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Keep checking our blog in the coming days as we continue to add information and photos from a great weekend of basketball.

Hall&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;The big bodies of Scottish Basketball were giving everything they had in the hopes of earning the 2008 Scottish Cup Championship. Troon and City of Edinburgh went all out for 40 minutes, driving hard to the hoop and diving for loose balls all over the court before the Kings were eventually crowned Champions. The Championship is the second straight Senior Men’s title for Edinburgh, a team that boasts four Scotland National players Kevin Anderson, Garreth Lodge, Simon Flockhart and Laurie Costello. &lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Australian born Brett Jefferies continued to drive the Kings offensively, scoring nine points in the third quarter as Edinburgh extended their lead to as much as 17 points. Laurie Costello had the chance to keep the lead at 17 but, missed both his free throws with 1.1 left on the clock in the third. &lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;The fourth quarter was not any better for the Tornadoes as they allowed the Kings to extend their lead to 19 points before calling time out with 7:49 left in the game. Jefferies was unstoppable, while teammate Campbell was hot, scoring 10 points in the second half, including two treys.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;The final score was Edinburgh 79-60 over Troon. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Jefferies finished the game with 28 points for the Kings. Other top scorers were Kevin Anderson and Campbell with 17 and 15 each. &lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Troon was led offensively by Ifadade Thomas, who scored 12 points in a losing effort. Ross Campbell chipped in 10, while Ritchie Martin added nine.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;(Photo by: Alistar Vannet)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=1643422&amp;amp;loc=en_US&quot;&gt;Subscribe to RAF Scottish Cup Finals 2008 by Email&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://rafcupfinals.blogspot.com/2008/03/kings-crowned-scottish-cup-champions.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Michael P.

Hall&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;The final match of the 2008 Scottish Cup Championships featuring the City of Edinburgh Kings and Troon Tornadoes is underway, with the Kings leading by a score of 40-32 at half-time. Brett Jefferies leads all scorers with 14 points for the City of Edinburgh. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Edinburgh controlled the opening tip, putting the ball into Kevin Anderson hands for the first basket of the game. Troon stayed within three points thanks to Ashley Holm’s seven points in the first four minutes. Kings’ forward Simon Flockhart was awarded the opportunity to extend his team’s lead to six after a Euan Campbell technical foul. The lead was eventually extended to 15 points and remained the same for the final two minutes of the initial quarter. &lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Troon’s Ritchie Martin had his buzzer beating three pointer roll off the rim, closing the quarter behind the Kings by a score of 31-16. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Troon’s porous defence turned into a ball hounding, rebound grabbing, hit-the-floor plug. The extra effort paid off, holding the Kings to only nine points. The Tornadoes capitalized offensively scoring 16 points and climbing within eight points at the close of the half. &lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Holm’s points were a team high and all came in the first quarter.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=1643422&amp;amp;loc=en_US&quot;&gt;Subscribe to RAF Scottish Cup Finals 2008 by Email&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://rafcupfinals.blogspot.com/2008/03/jefferies-leads-way-for-kings-with-14.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Michael P.

The win continued the Saints’ dominant 2008 Scottish Cup performance, securing their fourth title of the event. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Despite trailing after the first half, Polonia’s Leanne Page stuck to her guns, driving hard early in the second half, scoring three lay-ups as her team closed within 10 points of the Saints. The effort was not enough as the score stood at 49-35 in favour of St. Mirren at the end of the third quarter. &lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Chaloner owned the fourth quarter with a stat line of seven points, three steals, and two assists. The performance stretched St. Mirren’s lead to 59-39. Chaloner was helped in her effort by three pointers from Rebecca Cumming and solid offence by Rona Corkindale.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Polonia was unable to generate much offence, putting only 46 points on the board compared to the 79 from St. Mirren.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;At the buzzer Chaloner finished with a stat line of 22 points, three steals and two assists. Other top scorers for St. Mirren were Corkindale and Cumming with 17 and 7 points respectively. Polonia was led on the score board by Page with 10 points. Amanda Johnston and Hazel Howson scored eight points each.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;(Photo by: Alistar Vannet)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=1643422&amp;amp;loc=en_US&quot;&gt;Subscribe to RAF Scottish Cup Finals 2008 by Email&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://rafcupfinals.blogspot.com/2008/03/st-mirren-reid-kerr-college-win-their.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Michael P.

Natalie Chaloner was flying down the court for St. Mirren, scoring two quick lay-ups to give her team an early 6-2 lead.  Chaloner continued her dominance, scoring two more baskets and extending the Saints lead to 10-2 with just under four minutes left in the first quarter.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Polonia answered back and closed the lead to three at the end of the first quarter, trailing 13-10. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Nadele Strain coolly drained a three pointer to open the scoring for St. Mirren in the second quarter. From that point the teams traded baskets before Polonia went on a 6-2 run, closing the gap to one point, 23-22. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Polonia’s shot clock violation and subsequent turnovers allowed the Saints to stretch their lead to six, 9-22. &lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The Saints tough defence and a Ramona Brown three-pointer from four feet beyond the arc sent Polonia to the dressing room down 33-24 and lots to think about.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Chaloner finished the first half with a game leading 13 points for the Saints.

Grangemouth opened the game with a 5-2 lead but, were unable to take a large lead thanks in part to poor shooting and ball handling. The Saints kept the game close, trailing by two, 11-9 at the end of the first quarter.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Lee-Anne Mullholland took control early in the second quarter, driving the Saints with three quick baskets from inside and drew a foul, taking an 18-13 lead in the process. Grangemouth answered back thanks to a three pointer from Ruth Provan and two points from Pauline Dundas. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Both teams struggled from the field in the final two minutes of the half, unable to make a basket. The Saints led 24-17 at the end of the half.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Mullholland led all scorers with nine points for Midlothian. Dundas led the Grangemouth Ladies with seven points.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;(Photo by: Alistar Vannet)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=1643422&amp;amp;loc=en_US&quot;&gt;Subscribe to RAF Scottish Cup Finals 2008 by Email&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://rafcupfinals.blogspot.com/2008/03/midloathian-lead-by-five-at-half-time.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Michael P.

They entered the half with St Mirren ahead 24-34.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=1643422&amp;amp;loc=en_US&quot;&gt;Subscribe to RAF Scottish Cup Finals 2008 by Email&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://rafcupfinals.blogspot.com/2008/03/junior-women-final.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (basketballscotland)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1521309819444376025.post-2179019050660022900</guid><pubDate>Sat, 15 Mar 2008 13:42:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-03-15T15:19:15.039+00:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Cadet Men</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Clark Eriksson Fury</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">St Mirren Reid Kerr College</category><title>St Mirren Cadet Men Claim Second Title For The Saints</title><description>&lt;div class=&quot;img-shadow&quot; style=&quot;clear:both;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://picasaweb.google.com/basketball.scotland/2008RAFScottishCupFinals/photo#5177987752181570178&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://lh4.google.com/basketball.scotland/R9vobSwbGoI/AAAAAAAABlA/yznFg7iEGVw/s400/Cup%20Finals%20-1754.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;The second half of the Cadet Men&#39;s final was much more stable, but just as intense as the first.  Neither team was able to gain much ground.  St Mirren held a 3-4 point lead for much of the third quarter.  The Fury pulled even at 50-50 with 2:04 remaining in the quarter, but St Mirren pulled back to lead by four.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The fourth quarter continued the back and forth, but things tightened down the stretch with the Fury pulling ahead by 1, 60-59, on a pair of free throws by Alisdair Fraser at 5:04 remaining in the fourth.  The Fury had several chances to steal the lead back but could not capitalise.  However, the Fury could not pull away either.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Number 10 Kyle Haldane, finally put St Mirren back in front 61-60 with 4:00 remaining.  Team captain Kevin McDonald added 1 more the St. Mirren lead from the free throw line, and Calum Bryson added two more putting the score at 64-60.  Brian Munnoch cut the lead to 1 with a layup with 1:35 remaining, but St Mirren quickly answered.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The final minute was bedlam.  The Fury had two chances to take the lead with 30 seconds but shots from Jonny Bunyan and Brian Munnoch would not fall.  Tom Stuttard sealed a victory for St Mirren with a jump shot from the top of the key as the shot clock wound down and a steal on the following possession.  Jonny Bunyan was forced to foul and the rest is history.  The Saints claimed their second title of the day 70-66.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tom Stuttard and Kyle Haldane were a two man wrecking crew putting up 29 and 18 points respectively for St Mirren.  Jonny Bunyan paced the Fury with 18 points.  Alisdair Fraser chipped in 15 and Cameron Buchan added 10.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=1643422&amp;amp;loc=en_US&quot;&gt;Subscribe to RAF Scottish Cup Finals 2008 by Email&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://rafcupfinals.blogspot.com/2008/03/st-mirren-cadet-men-claim-second-title.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (basketballscotland)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1521309819444376025.post-2377542942449999541</guid><pubDate>Sat, 15 Mar 2008 12:56:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-03-15T16:56:41.775+00:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Cadet Men</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Clark Eriksson Fury</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">St Mirren Reid Kerr College</category><title>Cadet Men Final</title><description>&lt;div class=&quot;img-shadow&quot; style=&quot;float:right;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://picasaweb.google.com/basketball.scotland/2008RAFScottishCupFinals/photo#5178010528393142722&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://lh3.google.com/basketball.scotland/R9v9JCwbIcI/AAAAAAAABz0/8MmLaPzBNHE/s288/photo%20one.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Clark Eriksson Fury lived up to their name opening the 2008 RAF Scottish Cup Cadet Men Final with an 11-2 run fuelled by two 3 pointers by team captain Jonny Bunyan.  St Mirren withstood the storm and launched a run of their own outscoring the Fury 8-0 in the next 1:16 to bring the score to 11-10 at the 4:49 mark in the first quarter.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Towards the end of the first quarter, the Fury recovered and ran out to a 10 point lead at 26-16 capped by another 3pt basket from Jonny Bunyan.  The lead would not last, however, as the Saints responded with a combination of tough defense and quick offense.  Their effort culminated in a 40-37 half-time lead.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=1643422&amp;amp;loc=en_US&quot;&gt;Subscribe to RAF Scottish Cup Finals 2008 by Email&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://rafcupfinals.blogspot.com/2008/03/cadet-men-final.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (basketballscotland)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1521309819444376025.post-384559528682483495</guid><pubDate>Sat, 15 Mar 2008 11:36:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-03-15T12:25:48.187+00:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Cadette Women</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">St Maurices</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">St Mirren Reid Kerr College</category><title>St Mirren Reid Kerr College Claim Cadette Women&#39;s Title</title><description>&lt;div class=&quot;img-shadow&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://picasaweb.google.com/basketball.scotland/2008RAFScottishCupFinals/photo#5177942453161499218&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://lh5.google.com/basketball.scotland/R9u_OiwbGlI/AAAAAAAABjk/php_nfEr9J0/s288/cadet%20womens%20champs%20photo%20copy.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;The second half of the Cadette Women&#39;s final saw the &lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-error&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_0&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-error&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_0&quot;&gt;JRW&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Gladiators answer St &lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-error&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_1&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-error&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_1&quot;&gt;Mirren&#39;s&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 8-0 run to end the first half half with a 6-0 run of their own. This brought the score back to 35-33.   The Saints finally stemmed the bleeding with their first basket coming 4 minutes into the half, and a 3pt basket from the left corner at 5 minutes left opened the lead back up to 7.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Action was back and forth, but the Gladiators pulled back with a basket by Diane Currie with 11 seconds left in the third quarter to pull to within two at 45-43.  St &lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-error&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_2&quot;&gt;Mirren&#39;s&lt;/span&gt; pressure finally started to wear on the Gladiators and the Saints pulled to a 57-45 lead with 2:39 remaining.  A late three by Gladiators captain Erin &lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-error&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_3&quot;&gt;McGarrachan&lt;/span&gt; cut the lead to 9, but that was as close as they would come.

Their opponents, the JRW Gladiators, answered back and the game was underway. The Gladiators took their first lead of the game with 2:54 left in the first quarter but, it was short lived. Saints captain Gemma Black sank a three-pointer to increase her team’s lead. A number of fast break opportunities presented themselves for the Gladiators who cut the Saints lead to one, 15-14. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;The second quarter opened with both teams running hard. The Saints pulled away twice, 22-18 and 27-24. Great ball movement and speed by the Gladiators kept the game close and even tied the game at 27-27. St. Mirren picked up their level of play and went on an 8-0 run to end the quarter with 35-27 lead. &lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=1643422&amp;amp;loc=en_US&quot;&gt;Subscribe to RAF Scottish Cup Finals 2008 by Email&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=1643422&amp;amp;loc=en_US&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://rafcupfinals.blogspot.com/2008/03/cadette-womens-final.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Michael P.

Please park responsibly and be considerate of local residents.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Spectators Entrance&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Spectators will enter through the doors located towards that back of the Pleasance.
