Lethal for­ward Rhon­da John-Davis was the dif­fer­ence be­tween both sides when she helped Po­lice Sports Club edge De­fence Force 80-78, to take the MACK­E­SON Su­per 10 Bas­ket­ball League (SBL) Women's Big-Four semi­fi­nal se­ries 2-0, and an his­toric first ap­pear­ance in the fi­nal, when the two teams bat­tled at the Jean Pierre Com­plex, Mu­cu­rapo, on Thurs­day night. John-Davis outscored all scor­ers on the day with 31 points, a to­tal which she seems to at­tain on a match-by-match ba­sis for Po­lice. De­fence Force, start­ed stronger, how­ev­er, and it held a 18-12 lead go­ing in­to the first break. They main­tained its ad­van­tage by 35-31 go­ing in­to the half-time break, and con­trolled the third to leave the court with a hefty 59-50 lead. It was jus­ti­fi­ably im­pos­si­ble to write Po­lice off, as what was wit­nessed time-and-time again through­out the sea­son oc­curred again on the night. Po­lice went on to dom­i­nate the fi­nal pe­ri­od, and with John-Davis in con­trol, the "Po­lice­women" outscored its op­po­nents 30-19, which was enough to just scrape a win and to book a place in its sec­ond ti­tle match of the sea­son. For Po­lice, which has al­ready tak­en the knock­out ti­tle this sea­son, Kielle Con­nel­ly bagged 22 points, while Lesie-Ann Bac­quain chipped in with 18. Crys­tal-Ann George had a very good match for De­fence Force with 27 points and 11 re­bounds, and she was sup­port­ed by cen­tre Ali­cia Liv­er­pool who took 15 points and grabbed 10 re­bounds. Sher­ine James scored 12.
