Worthing Thunder’s biggest match of the season took place at the Thunderdome in front of their biggest crowd in three years – but ended in defeat to title rivals Solent Kestrels.

An understrength home side proved no match for their illustrious visitors, who won 104-59 – Thunder’s biggest defeat for a long time.

The first quarter started at hectic pace and the lead changed eight times in the first ten minutes. Thunder took a 21-19 lead into the first break as Jarred Dixon fired a super trey.

In the second period Solent made all the moves.
