Fury Headcoach John Bunyan told Heraldsport
“ This was one of our strongest ever performances against Saints and the quality of play, in particular our 3 point shooting was outstanding . Adam and Eddy were exceptional. To hit 21 out of 40 attempts from behind the arc gave us an incredible 52%. But this was a performance that comes from solid practice sessions and the credit for the win goes to all 17 of our squad “.
The win gives Fury a 2-0 start to the season and puts them joint top of the Championship table.
