The "Star FM" Pioneers have returned to the winners list with an 18 point win over the Kilsyth Cobras in the club's 500th SEABL game at the IceHouse Friday night. However, the margin does not indicate just how tough the win was for the Pioneers. The Cobras defeated Knox on Thursday night by 13.

Dallas Jeffree tallied an impressive 26 points whilst import Chris Lewis battled all night for his 21 points and 12 rebounds in an outstanding display. Lewis' hard work was especially important once Ryan Blankson left the court with his sixth foul in the last period. Blankson was also impressive for the milestone celebrating home team.

John Croft (21 points) and Chris Cameron (15) were in top form for the Cobras whilst import big Brad Bridgewater struggled after quarter time scoring his 10 points in the first period.

Coach Jason Sedlock in his first home in uniform for the season provided spark off the bench with an impressive double-double - 16 points and 10 rebounds. He was awarded the game night MVP award.

Carl Teske was not in Pioneers uniform needing to return to Queensland due to personal reasons.

The Pioneers are back on the road in Round 7 taking on the Bendigo Braves and a return game against the Kilsyth Cobras. Both are very achievable and are important if the Pioneers to regain playoffs contention.

The Pioneers next home game is on the 20th April against the Knox Raiders - BE THERE & BE LOUD!
