NAVEXA DIVISION 1 MEN

Our Big V Men have solidified their spot in the Big V Finals fixture with an impressive win over the Bulleen Boomers. Starting off hot the team jumped out to a quick 8-point advantage leading 23-15 at the quarter-time break. The Boomers fought back however as they regained some momentum to tie the game up at 39 apiece heading into the half.

The Rays kicked into gear once again as they held the Boomers to a 7-point quarter grabbing a 5-point advantage. In the final 10, the flood gates finally opened as the Rays connected on shot after shot, stifling the Bulleen offence to run away 17-point winners, allowing just 21 second-half points.
