HR Focus Solutions 74, Le Mont Saint Abarth 51
BENCH strength proved key as Focus HR Solutions eased past Le Mont Saint Abarth for their second straight win of the Legis Division One season.

With Abarth missing the presence of key men Shekouba Sesay and Paul Wilkes, as well as Mark Barnett playing but carrying an injury, they were always up against it as the title favourites showed their class.

Focus raced into a 22-11 lead by the end of the first quarter having never fallen behind, Abarth struggling to cope with a Focus side marshalled by star Martin Yabsley.

He scored 13 in the game, with team-mate Andy Stephens contributing 15.
