Regs finish season with shabby loss, game footage shabby as well

An anti-climactic finish to the season as the Regulators get humbled by the Little Boys

The Regulators turned up 7-deep for the final game of the season and all looked good for a final win. A win would have the Regs on a three game win streak and give some respect to a difficult first season in E grade.

That did not happen.

What also didn't happen was a decent recording of the events. What you're about to see is the result. Best camera angles yet, but late with the taping and then battery runs flat. We'll get it right - NEXT YEAR!

Regs cruise to their sixth win of the year vs BOB

Mattyo had it going early and the Regs had BOB on the ropes.

But BOB came back late and some late-game heroics from Claude sealed the deal.

Highlights below:

Regs turn up - get the win.

Hollow forfeit win balanced by inspired half-court training session.

Unlike this guy, Westkoast didn't want to
take on the big guy, i.e - The Regulators

Looking to snap their two game losing streak, without the services of their hustle man, (Roopa - out for season) a major scoring threat, (Claude - no longer can do early games), and their mega-board-man (Matt Leonard - same reason as Claude) the remaining Regulators were, in short, HIGHLY MOTIVATED to prove they belong on the hallowed basketball Mecca that is court 3 at MSAC.

5.50 games are a delight if you are able to get there early and have an extended warm-up. I will elaborate:

• You have the authority to kick off any weak minded try-hard who's 'Just having shots' because you're a paying player who needs to warm up
• You can scope out the opposition as they arrive
• You can have a mini-game of 2-on-2 or 3-on-3 to really get ready for the game (I'd say your level of play goes up by 5-10% after having a few solid runs)
• You can search for and then lock in on what type of game you're going to have. Shot not falling? Look to pass and rebound. Hitting from 3? Tell the team to get you open. Ball keeps bouncing off your feet and out of bounds? Nominate to be score the game for the night...

But the opposition - WESTKOAST - did not show, and the Regulators took the win by way of forfeit.

Deciding to make the most of the facilities, the Regulators played and intense game of 3-on-3. Teams were decided by height, the game to be decided by classic playground rules (first to 11, have to lead by two - three-pointers worth two, any other shot - one).

From the get-go this game was played with manic intensity and aggression. Free of the shackles of a referee, pussy-fouls and by the book traveling calls, the Regulators played with a sharpness and cohesion not seen in some while.

Honors were split after two games and by that stage everyone was well knackered. With only two games left and no chance of a finals berth, lets see if this session of quality hoops translates into a winning finish to the season.
