This week has been a great time with the club purchasing this new net scoring frame. We have purchased to help people like our little Bella who is seven years old joined us being able to use a chair but each week her chair use is getting better and better. Now we have this frame Bella is actually able to shoot into the four baskets at different heights which helps her shoot better but get her shooting action correct.check some pics of our Bella and the new bit of shooting kit. Check her beautiful smile and how happy she was to shoot and get baskets. It was amazing to see.well done Bella keep up the hard work.

Massive shout to our own Peter Smorthit prepping tonight for the London Marathon tomorrow.
We wish you all the best we know you will tear it up. Enjoy old friend and see you in court very soon.

This is Peter one of legendary players. Sadly two weeks ago he had a stroke and this is him today. Non verbal face drop and weak right side and hand doesn’t work. It don’t stop him he is so determined to get back to where he was. This is not the first time and he knows what to do. Peter keep up the hard work. Oh and he keeps doing marathons on his handbike and day chair. The man is a true legend.

Very cool. Well done Mattel
