Game Info and Reports DATE: 2nd December 2010 The Under 15/16 squad will travel to play Stroud Sharks on Sunday 5th December. The team will be meeting at 10:45am and returning at approximately 3:15pm. Parents are more than welcome to come and watch and cheer on the team. Head Coach Steve Farmer will be taking the team and we currently have enough drivers to take the squad across to Stroud.
DATE: November 2010 Here are some pictures of our Under 15/16 squad games.
Match report: The new Under 15/16 squad travelled to Cirencester to take on the National League Team Gloster Jets in their first ever competitive match together. They faced a team that have regular games in a highly competitive league and the team struggled to retain possession of the ball under extreme pressure from Gloster's full court press. As the game progressed the Mavs became more and more confident and started to get to the hoop and score more frequently. It was also a good chance for the coaching staff to see the players temperament which was tested from the tip off. None of the squad let their heads drop and ignored the huge lead that the opposition had created, instead the players concentrated on what the coaches were saying and they themselves saw how the had improved throughout the game. It was a pleasure to see the majority of the team get on the scoresheet and work hard at both ends of the court. Report by Head Coach Steve Farmer
