Hartlepool HEAT 30 – Leeds Tigers 27
Tigers Tamed by HEAT!
Hartlepool HEAT U13 Boy’s National League season opened with a bang as Hartlepool hosted Leeds Tigers and York Vikings at the Headland Sports hall.
HEAT played Leeds Tigers first and trailed for the majority of the game, until a burst of energy pushed HEAT over the final hurdle, as it seemed that boy’s were holding back.
In the first half HEAT couldn’t buy a basket and even though they only trailed by 2-points by half time they could have lead by more than 15-points had their chances gone in.
It looked like Leeds would take the game as we entered the last 2 minutes but a Daniel Pardue basket put HEAT up by 1-point, only for team captain Jonny Davies to drive with seconds left and score the last basket of the game, handing his team their first ever league win.
Scorers: Jonnny Davies 10, Daniel Pardue 10, Macaulay Novak 6
