Abby’s contribution is second to none
The win comes on the back of some strong performances from Fury SW – who knocked one of the favorites – Edinburgh University – out of the Scottish Cup and ran current Championship leaders Kool Kats close two weeks ago. Fury maintained their pressing style of play and held the Perth side to five points in the opening period and six points in the third.
A 12-5 first quarter saw Fury take control of the game with seven points from Fury Junior Katie McEwan.

A tighter third period saw Fury take a 21pt lead into the final quarter. However there was no stopping the Falkirk side as they finished strongly with a 19-10 stanza, that saw four further threes.
Lonsdale, Rutter and McEwan shared 27pts with Ailie Gardner and Alicia McFadden sharing 16. This was a great team performance with Fury’s guards ontrolling the game and their three juniors – Rutter. McEwan and Pelly Kidd bringing a huge amount to the win.
This weekend sees the SW take on Glasgow University.
