Champions!!!!!!!

The NULC Knights made history on Sunday. In the process of winning the England Basketball Division 4 Midlands Conference Championship, they also become the first Basketball team in the Staffordshire area to win on a National League level. The Knights would finish the season on an impressive note as they traveled down to Loughborough to face an eager Student Riders Team. NULC would enter this encounter without one of their main weapons in Joshua Dos Santos.

 Seb Brunsdon would pick up the scoring slack with a cool 18 points of the bench. The Knights would eventually hold of the stubborn Riders club a snatch the victory by a score of 87-69.

Coach Jamison had this to say... " It is a great honour to deliver a championship trophy to Newcastle under Lyme College. NULC have supported me and the guys from day 1 and we just wanted to show them how much we appreciate their support. Also I would like to say Thank you to our fans as your overwhelming support made this possible. We also would like to send a big Thank you to Stoke City Football club for their continued support."

The Knights will be back in action on March 22 as the will host a playoff game against either Kingston Panthers / Hull Wasps. Tip off time is 2:00pm at The Gordon Banks Sports Center.
