Melbourne Tigers vs Singapore Slingers

I was at the State Netball Centre,Melbourne tonight.

Melbourne 113(Tucker 24, Anstey 24, Hoare 17) def Singapore 102 (Helms 24, Trahair 18, Chandler 17)

Melbourne Tigers won the game but probably should have won the game by 30+ but give credit to the Slingers they never stopped trying. I think in the end Singapore would have got more out of the game than the Tigers. Not a full house there tonight. Rashad Tucker was the MVP. Mike Helms the best for the Slingers.

It was great to see Darryl and Derrick McDonald on court together towards the end.

Slingers now go back to Singapore to play the South Dragons on Wednesday while the Tigers play at home again next Saturday against Adelaide.

Rashad Tucker played well making up for the injured Dave Thomas. Darryl Corletto was good. Chris Anstey played consistently all night.

NBL site has the Tigers crowd down at 2,860 - which is about average for them - in a 3,250 venue so not bad.

That's just under 8,000 across the 2 games - makes you wonder how many they would have got to the Dragons first home game if they didnt have them both playing on the same night!?

Many Tigers fans would be curios to check out the first home game of the Dragons.

BTW Andrew Gaze was at the Dragons game and NOT the Tigers game - doing radio broadcast, that must have been painfull for him :-) Apparently only the second game he has missed (excluding his NBA days).

Is Derrick Darryl's son? Because if it is I played against him in the U20 classics at Nunawading and he was absolutely nothing.
Amazing if it is
