GTS All Stars 73 v Capital PVC 8
In a one sided game, GTS steam rolled Capital PVC to record their first win of the season. Capital looked good in patches and played aggressively and enthusiastically but they must work at their shooting and passing in order to improve this season. GTS were lead by Island Player Sammie Redhead who scored 21 points and she was ably assisted by last seasons Womens B MVP Elka De Carteret who added 14.
MVP – Sammie Redhead

Shootin Starz A 34 v Louvre Group 36
The Womens league got underway with an overtime thriller on Wednesday night. Both teams were sporting new line-ups with Louvre adding the experienced Jenny Rees to their ranks. The game was a scrappy affair with Rees the one standout player as she scored 18 and hand a hand in everything good that Louvre did. Shootin Starz battled hard and fough their way back into it to actually lead heading into the last minute but Louvre managed to find the basket one more time to take the game into the extra period. Again it remaind close but it was Louvre who nicked the win with Rees converting the final two points of the Game.
MVP – Jenny Rees
