Press Release 3 - A full house for the Northants Basketball Club.
“Tornadoes” arrived at the Northants Basketball Centre with just six players. Like so many clubs they had struggled to register players on Basketball England’s Membership Portal.
Despite being short-handed the Coventry boys gave a good account of themselves especially in the third quarter which they won 16-13, this after losing the first quarter 26-14. Not surprisingly the visitors ‘ran out of gas’ in the second half which “Thunder” took 39-18 to run out winners by 78 points to 48.
In the thirty point win “Thunder” had five players scoring in double figures led by Benas Maldutis with 14, Jack Lemon had 13 points with Tom Greenfield, Ellis Phillips and Rapolas Radavicius also making major contributions

Press Release 1
Recent events would seem to indicate that the sport of basketball is set for another period of growth, certainly in the county of Northamptonshire. Over the summer months the Northants Basketball Club has received a large number of enquiries from prospective players and this interest was born out last week when well over 100 new boys and girls tried out for the ten teams the club will be running this season. This total was over the boys and girls already selected.
Club President, John Collins was delighted with the turn out and attributed it to the popularity of the recently re-furbished Northampton Racecourse site plus the success of the England team in the Commonwealth Games 3 x 3 competition.
