Erks' winning start to their EMBL campaign continued with a comfortable win over a very young, "Swiss Family Robinson" led, Forest team.
Erks hit 26 in each of the first two quarters with new guard Adrian LeClair lighting it up with drives to the hoop and "on fire" Fun Ed Bailey who hit two dunks. Lee "Twinkle Toes" Atkinson found his range once again and Gary Glennard hit 4 first half points off 2 offensive rebounds. Robin French came off the bench to hit 10 first half points from fast breaks with great finishing and, although he couldn't hit an outside shot, it didn't stop him from taking 17!!
The second half saw Erks continue to dominate with Declan hitting 15 second half points on his way to a game high 21. However, Erks could not keep the pace up and only scored 22 in the final quarter to leave them 2 short of the ton.
Erks scorers: Declan McCusker 21, Adrian LeClair 18, Lee "Twinkle Toes" Atkinson 10, Robin "shoot at all costs" French 13, Gary "Laughing Boy" Glennard (without his shiny Shoes) 8, "The Guru" 10, Fun Ed Bailey 18
