Basketball squads excel at National 3 v 3 Championships

NULC took both the Ladies’ and Men’s basketball teams to the Nottingham Wildcats Arena to play 3 vs. 3 tournaments. Each team took on opponents ranging from Derby to London, after playing numerous matches both teams finished the tournament with smiles on their faces.
Both teams only went into this tournament with one goal which was to have fun, however for the lads things turned serious when them and both coach Jamison realised they could win. After only losing one game by a staggering 1 point the lads had achieved much more than they expected and became national champions.
For the ladies’ they played their matches with a range of results they won some, lost some and drew a couple. After playing a 9 minute 50 second match the last 10 seconds were to decide the winner.
Unfortunately the girls were unsuccessful and couldn’t stop derby from scoring their free- throw point which gave them the game. Unsuccessful the girls still left with massive smiles on their faces after securing silver medals, this was an exceptional performance from them as they have only every played once before and had no training. For NULC it was a very good and successful day and all coaches were very proud!
