Thamesview began to move the ball around the court swiftly and skilfully. Our players using their speed and agility to zoom past his opponents and our positioning leaving Thamesview a multitude of chances. Our Thamesview Tsunami finished the quarter ahead of their competitors. 

As the second quarter the team made a few substitutions. The quarter begins, one of our players dribbles down the court using his handles and slotted a three pointer, but this was only the beginning as he continued to drop multiple points leaving him with a double in points. We utilised our speed rushing past our opponents and teammates leaving us open for several layups which helped Thamesview eventually claim the victory. The score was rising, and the game was pure entertainment with enjoyable and thrilling dribbling. The quarter ended but this was only the start of amazing performance by our Team. 

The game continued with the addition of some important role players.
