The Melville Intermediate Girls team have been playing on Tuesday nights in the Waikato Basketball Competition. The team has been unbeaten over the past eight weeks defeating a mixture of club teams and school teams of mixed gender. Last week Melville Intermediate were victorious in their Semi-Finals against the Flyers Sparks team, and this week in the pool final took on Te Awamut Intermediates Girls team. Last time these teams meet in pool play Melville won, but only by seven points (in a forty minute game). In the final it was close in the first quarter with Melville taking a 6-4 lead. Second quarter Melville tightened their defence to force a defensive shut out and take a 19-4 half time lead. Te Awamutu reducded it to a thirteen point deficit at the end of the third quarter, 18 to 31, before Melville pulled away in the last quarter of the match to win 51-24.
