It's cold in the north of Scotland and the two teams from the north had a touch of frost on their shooting to start the first half of the Chairman's Cup Final. It took a while to get their sites set with poor shooting from the perimeter marking the first few minutes. Banchory was the first to warm up and got out to an 11-4 lead after 8 minutes.
Highland soon thawed as well. Two outstanding fast breaks by #7 Dean Kane highlighted an 8-0 run by the Bears that saw them take the lead at the 9:20 mark in the second quarter. Banchory were not down long though. A deep three from Russell Tattersall brought the Stags even at 16-16. The teams traded baskets before Banchory pulled back in front and went into the half-time with a 23-19 lead.
