Fury Men become the most consistent Men's side of the 18-19 season as they reached the Play-Off final with their Big 4 of Matrakakov (26) and Burroughs (24) sharing 50pts and Leginas (19) and Hammerschmidt (17) sharing 36pts .
With Fury having already won the Scottish Cup Final, and being Runners-Up in the Championship, the Men's side will take their place in the Play-Off Final against Edinburgh Kings, the 4th seed who denied a potential clash between the Cup Winners and the League Champions- Reign, who Fury defeated in the Cup semi-finals.
Fury’s 10pt win over Saints was their 4th win in 4 games over the Paisley side this season, all in double digits.
However this win for Fury was certainly their toughest challenge as Saints, like Fury played great basketball throughout, with the Falkirk side getting the edge going into the final quarter and keeping it till the final whistle.
In what was an unusual scoring game for Fury. who have all season, consistently had 20 plus points from their bench, but it was 4 of Fury’s starters who produced the big numbers throughout. Fury’s former Rocks trio of Boris Matrakov, Bantu Burroughs , Cup Final MVP Adam Hammerschmidt and Fury ‘s own Eddie Leginas, shared the scoring and moreover, played great team basketball for all 4 quarters. 
Fury got off to a stunning start as they went 16-5 ahead, however Saints rallied and eventually took the high scoring opening stanza 32-26, with Matrakov on 10 and Leginas on 9 personal.
The second saw Fury pull back, then Saints take a 10pt lead and look as though they had control of the game. But with tougher defence from the Falkirk side, 12 pts personal from Matrakov , big threes from Burroughs and Leginas and a great close out play at the half from Lithuanian Evaldas Burksiatis, the game ended only 4 pts in Saint's favour at
52-48 and all to play for in the second half.
The third was a typical Fury team period, tougher defence, holding Saints to 16pts and team offence that saw 6 players on the score-sheet and Fury ahead by 4 going into the final quarter. Centre Ross Gibson with key back to back baskets in the third and Bulgarian Ivan Ganchev also getting points on the board and playing some great defence.
The final period saw Fury continue to dig in defensively – again holding Saints to 16pts, while Burroughs took over for Fury offensively, leading the team with 12 personal down the stretch for a team 10pt win and a place in what will be the Men's 7th Play-Off / Scottish Cup Final in 6 seasons and will see Fury go for their 11th Men's title in 7 seasons, a remarkable run of consistency.

Scottish Senior Men Plays-Off Quarter –Final

A 30-14 opening period paved the way for a solid performance from the Falkirk side as they build towards a Play-Off run. Despite resting 3pt specialist and Captain – Keith Bunyan, Fury were imperious beyond the arc with a total of 14 threes in the 42 point win. Former Rocks pro, Bantu Burroughs hit 5 of the 14 in a 29pt game high personal tally. Bulgarian Ivan Ganchev also put on a show for the Fury fans with 16pts and 4 blocks as he entertained the crowd with his play. Fellow countryman – Boris Matrakov hit 13, with Lithuanian Eddie Leginas on 12.
Fury played two of their Championship winning Junior Men's team – Jack Davidson and Sam Owens, both getting on the score-sheet in what was another solid team performance with 11 of the 12 players on the score-sheet.
 

Fury become the first team in Scottish Cup history to record 100pts in a Senior Men's Final – the treble figure total beat the previous record of 99 held by Fury – again in a win over St.Mirren in 2015. Fury never looked back after taking a 6pt lead at the end of the first quarter, with Austrian Adam Hammerschmidt taking the MVP title after a 24pt haul.
A 29- 17 second period was the quarter that gave Fury a cushion they never looked back from. 
Playing an uptempo game Fury scored 22pts of fast breaks, with the significant stat coming from off the bench, where Fury racked up 26pts to Saints zero. The multi national Falkirk side with players from 6 different countries in their ranks, played team basketball throughout with a switching defensive strategy that worked hard to contain a talented Saints side. 
One of the other keys for the Sony sponsored side was from behind the arc where they hit a solid 50%, 12 from 24 , while their opponents struggled with a 14.8% , 4 from 27. 
At the free throw line, Fury were a big 81.8% , hitting 18 from 22.
Fury’s 12 threes came from MVP Adam Hammerschmidt – 3, point guard Bantu Burroughs – 3, Captain Keith Bunyan and Bulgarian Boris Matrakov, 2 apiece with fellow Bulgarian Ivan Ganchev and Connor Martin on 1 apiece. 
With Burroughs, Eddie Leginas and Bryan Munnoch controlling the offence, Fury were also well served inside with Scottish centre Ross Gibson who had a solid game with 8pts and 10 big rebounds. Eddy Leginas also had a great stat line with 9pts, 9 assists and 8 rebounds for an all round performance for the Fury raised Lithuanian playmaker.
The former 4 pro Glasgow Rocks players also did not fail to deliver with Hammerschmidt’s MVP performance, that included 7 from 10 from the charity stripe – an indication of the problem the Austrian had given Saints when going to the basket; Burroughs 19pts, 4 assists and all round solid defence; Matrakov’s 37 minutes – no rest for Boris till the final 3 minutes, producing 14points, 13 rebounds in a great double –double and 3 assists; with veteran 41yr old Captain Keith Bunyan playing 15 minutes with 2 from 4 behind the arc and of course his continual motivation to his team.
11 of Fury’s 12 players made the score sheet showing the teams strength in depth – Zygi Dauksas, Bryan Munnoch, Ross Munnoch, Connor Martin, Evaldis Bursaitis and Ivan Ganchev all with key contributions and highlight film play from Dauksas and Ganchev getting the large Fury support to their feet.
The win gives Fury Men its 10th Scottish title in 7 seasons and its 4th Scottish Cup Final win in the last 6 seasons – showing the consistency and work in the Men's program.
Fury Headcoach John Bunyan commented to Heraldsport after the game –
‘ We really played to our strengths today and I am delighted for the players as they have worked really hard to take this title. You cannot underestimate the mental and physical effort that goes into top amateur sport – players working in their day jobs and then going to training or even many times going to games! I am sure all our former pros will agree – yes the level is lower but the effort required is certainly not.
We shot the ball well and clearly we had a big contribution off our bench. It's disappointing Greg Foussas could not play in the Final as he has done as much as anyone to take the team to where it is today. This is a fantastic group of players who really play for each other and as a coach, you can ask for no more. 
St.Mirren as always gave a solid account of themselves and at one stage when it looked as though we could go away from them in the third at 23 ahead, they dug deep and we had to continue to focus throughout the whole of the game.
I would like to thank our loyal fans, who as usual were a big key for us and I would also like to than Gordon, my assistant coach for his work off court with the players. 
We have a big game this Friday – again against Saints to try and tie up second spot in the Championship and then look at having a real go at taking the Play-Offs.’

Sony Centre Fury are bringing the Scottish Cup back to Falkirk after a convincing win over rivals St Mirren. The Paisley side could not compete with John Bunyan's side who led 52-34 at half-time after an incredible 29 points in the second period. The difference between the sides stayed the same in the third period before Fury stretched clear and hit three figures in the fourth. Adam Hammerschmidt again took the golden ball at the Oriam in Edinburgh. The road to the trophy began against Heriot-Watt University, where the final venue is based, in September. Fury saw off the students convincingly hitting 114 points to win by 40. They then saw off Stirling Knights before inflicting Dunfermline Reign's first defeat of the season in December to seal the final place against their rivals from the west.
