2007/8 Season Match Reports Friday 14th December 2007
Premier Division Bury 90-91 Blackpool
57 points from Alan Hall still leaves Bury one basket short of a win Report by Peter Parker

Blackpool travelled to Bury on a cold Friday night and from the tip put on the pressure and hit quick buckets.  However, Allen Hall also had his guns firing all cylinders and his wing man Ste White kept the game close with eight three's in the game.
Blackpool led for most of the game until Bury edged to a nine point advantage in the final quarter.  It was still anyone's game yet two deep bombs from the visitors swung the momentum.  In the dying moments, Bury turned the ball over down by one enabling Blackpool to claim the game 91 to 90.
 
Allen Hall, led all scorers with an amazing individual effort with 57 points and Ste White had 28 (85 from 90), mostly from downtown, yet it was not enough to pull out a win.
