Women's Report: Reading Rockets 61-70 Bristol Flyers

The final quarter was where the Rockets really found their stride, scoring ten points straight to catch and overtake the Flyers by two points. Bigica then re-entered the game and scored a free throw plus an and-one play and Zilbeti scored a three pointer to retake the lead.

Flyers managed to keep a firm grip on the game with Ward and Bigica scoring six points between them and limiting the Rockets to only two baskets, meaning Flyers safely closed out the game with a nine point lead, 61-70.

"Reading have caused us problems over the years and to get the win away from home is pleasing," said head coach Gareth Till.

"We manged to maintain our composure when Reading fought back to take the lead after being 17 points down.

"There is plenty more to come from this Flyers team, we have really good options offensively, it just hasn’t quite happened from some players yet. We’re working hard in practice, when it does click, we’re going to be an even tougher team to beat."
