There was a great festival of basketball at the Surrey sports park last weekend, as the English Basketball Association held their inter regional tournament, and invited the Welsh junior squads to participate. Three Tigers players were involved in the Welsh squads.

On Saturday Ben Evans played for the Welsh U14's who were playing up in age against U15 teams from Surrey, Sussex, Herts and Kent.... Unfortunately the Welsh team played 3 and lost 3 but they certainly did themselves proud and battled hard against much bigger sides.

On Sunday morning Jacob Gibbons played for the Welsh U11's who lost to Surrey & Sussex but came away with a win against Kent.... This resulted in the U11’s finishing in third place.

Also on Sunday Ben Evans and Dewi Hobbs played for the Welsh U13's, who won 3 of their games against Surrey (22-14), Kent (32-14), Sussex (24-18) but unfortunately lost their last game in a tense encounter to Herts by a single point 17-18. However even though they were tied 3 wins each with Surrey, the Welsh team were winners of the tournament by fact that they beat Surrey in their first game.

Well done to our 3 Tigers players, but also all their team mates who once again were a credit to their Country....

Big congratulations to Tigers players Rhys Evans and James Large who have both won Most Valuable Player awards in the South Wales Basketball Association (SWBA) for this last season.

Rhys Evans topped the list to win the award as overall MVP in the Mens U16 League, and James Large topped the list to win the award as overall MVP in the Mens U18 League.

Presentation of the awards will be at the SWBA AGM this Sunday.

Well done lads....thoroughly deserved.

Tigers successfully hosted their first U14 triangular tournament of the season, against Swansea Storm and RCT Gladiators, and recorded two wins out of two. Scores can be found by clicking on the Fixtures and Results page.

We had only seven players, 4 of which are still U12, and so these results were very good. 

MVP for Tigers was Ben Evans.

Big thanks to the referees, Craig Hughes (U18), Rhys Evans (U16) and Jordan Williams (U16).

Also Big thanks to our two table officials Geraint and Mandy Evans.
