The leading scorers were Mark Shipley with 28 and Daniel Worku with 19 points. Coach Frank Lamptey commented "This was a pretty good performance offensively and I'm told that our score of 127 was the highest in the National League this weekend. We still have a few things to work on defensively as our goal is to hold teams under 60 points but we have to continue to work hard in practise to build on this performance" On Saturday, Westside make the short trip to NW London to play local rivals, London Capitals at Capital City Academy at 2pm in what is sure to be an explosive encounter.
