In the final game of the day, Thames Valley Kings II team faced off with a well-drilled Swansea Storm team. Both teams got off to a slow start with momentum picking up in the 2nd quarter from both sides. It was Kings who pulled away by a short margin in the 3rd, but Swansea went down swinging bringing the game back level at 40-40 with only a few minutes to spare. After a nailbiting, two and a half minutes Kings manage to squeeze out the win by two points, 46-44 with top scorers Chris Nash and JJ Francis being the top scorers for Kings II with 10 points each.
