After a nail biting finish, we edged Oxford Brooks Devils in the Founders Cup semi 88 - 86. Oxford were coached by ex-Wildcats National League captain Mark Poynton, who played for years with many of the current Wildcats team. A below par performance in the first half saw us down 50 - 47 at the break. Coach Phil Gunner made some defensive adjustments in the third quarter which restricted oxford to just 17 points and gave the Wildcats a 73 - 67 lead going into the final period. Some hard work at both ends of the floor soon pushed this lead to 10 points, but Oxford didn't fold and came back to within 2 points with possession and 23 seconds left. As the clock wound down Paul Chantler was called for a foul with 1.3 seconds remaining. The Oxford player missed the first shot, and then deliberately missed the second in the hope of getting an offensive rebound, but Steve Rich got to the ball first securing the victory. Brian Moore was the top scorer with 22 points, with Paul Chantler and Phil Kidd adding 12 and 11 points. This sets up a third consecutive final appearance for the Wildcats on the 10th April against London Lithuanians.
