The West Coast Bombers travelled to Palmerston North during the weekend to face Swamp City's club B-team, the "Badda Bings", on their home turf at Arena Manawatu.

In a close game, Badda Bings got home 187-155 with some good play in the final jams.

Watched by a good crowd of Palmerston North supporters and travelling Whanganui fans, the Bombers kept their opposition scoreless in the first 10 minutes to take a commanding lead, but the Badda Bings eventually found their groove and displayed some impressive set piece play.

Bombers led 98-77 at halftime.

The home team finally drew level with four minutes left to play, and then led by their Team NZ player Justine Saunders Badda Bings picked up the win.

It was still a good effort for the Bombers, who are in the middle of their second competitive season together.

The Bombers will next play the Richter City club's B-team, "The Convicts" on July 16 at Jubilee Stadium, at 3pm.
