Kardinals badly needed this win to get back in contention of qualifying for the Big 6. Visioneers on the other hand also needed the victory to solidify their campaign for this season.  Team Visioneers came into the match-up  riding a three game win streak after dropping their initial two games for the season.

Visioneers team started on a strong note scoring quick basket in successions. It was looking as another day at the office as their previous victories.

Gabriel Richards, skipper of the team was in form. His constant attack in the paint had him visiting the charity stripe. Then he entered foul trouble. His fourth foul came early in the third quarter and before changes were made, he was called for a charging foul on the next possession.
