Junior Men’s final is underway at the RAF Scottish Cup featuring the City of Edinburgh Kings and the Clark Eriksson Fury. Kings forward Vincent Stirrat is leading all scorers with 12 points including a crowd pleasing two-handed dunk after making a steal. The near capacity crowd played the role of sixth man, cheering on every possession.
Calum Nicol drained a three and a long two to give the Kings an early 5-2 lead. The Kings held strong on defence and further extended their lead to seven points at 9-2. The Fury were unable to close the gap thanks to a two for six performance from the charity stripe.
Edinburgh took the ball to the hoop, scoring six quick points and taking a 17-7 lead to open the second quarter. The Fury answered back with four of their own before calling timeout with eight minutes left in the half.
Centre Ali MacKay drew two consecutive fouls in the paint, and hit all of his free throws, followed by Stirrat’s dunk as the Kings took a 35-22 lead to the dressing room.
