Signs Express Fury keep up SBC Division 1 Championship winning-run

The Falkirk-based club returned with a 22-point, 90–68 win on the road. Fury edged the opening quarter by just three points, but by half time the home side had battled back to take a narrow 39–38 lead.

However, the unbeaten Falkirk side — chasing a remarkable league “three-peat” — stepped up their intensity in the second half, producing dominant third and fourth quarters to secure a key victory.

Fury controlled all the major statistical categories, outperforming rivals Rocks in rebounds, assists, steals and turnovers. It was a brilliant away performance.

Ali Fraser led the scoring with 29 points, while Murray Hendry delivered a standout performance at both ends of the floor, collecting 13 rebounds and five steals and throwing down multiple dunks on his way to a 25-point double-double.

Captain Jonny Bunyan also hit double figures with 16 points, and Prince Onwas added 10.

Fury’s exceptional 74 per cent accuracy from two-point range — converting 31 of 42 attempts — was another decisive factor.

Reviewing what was another important win for title-holders Fury, head coach John Bunyan hailed his side’s performance.

He said: “Renfrew continue to get better each season and have some great players, so we know any game against them will be tough. Twenty-two points doesn’t reflect how close this game was.

"A big shout out to Keith, my older son, who has been assisting Gordon and myself with the coaching of the men’s team — he made key contributions throughout, and it was great to see how well we played down the stretch.

"We have two tough home games before the Christmas break, and our focus is certainly on that three-peat, which we have actually done before.”

Fury’s Senior Men now prepare to host Paisley BC tomorrow at Grangemouth Sports Complex, with tip-off at 7.50pm.

Spectator admission opens at 7.20pm.
