Having not played since 22 October 2011, everyone was eager to get in to this game.  Ealing were a team we had not played before but we were hopeful we could get a result after our last, close run game against Dagenham.

New opposition and an early start to get to Dagenham for an 11:00 tip meant that we were on the road shortly after 8:00am.  It was a beautiful sunny morning and we had the use of a minibus so we were all looking forward to an excellent game.  Would the atmosphere in the bus on the way back be as cheerful….only time would tell.

It was our first time playing Maidstone Warriors so they were an unknown force to us.  What a game it turned out to be though.  Pity that Rod was in London and could not be there to do a proper match report.

Having scored first, Rockets seemed unable to capitalise on this advantage and leaked six straight baskets on the bounce.  It wasn’t looking good and we were playing catch-up basketball for most of the first quarter.  But it was when Maidstone hit their team fouls limit in the 7^th minute that we started our comeback, scoring two baskets in the final minute to close the quarter 10-14 down.
