I’ve enjoyed every minute of the last ten years, Hope you have.

Unfortunately my body disagrees, and has just packed up.

Shan’t be around to update any more

but if anyone fancies  taking it on, feel free to contact family at webmaster@pawprint75.co.uk

(you’ll get all computer progammes, background and archives info .... A huge haul!)

 

 

10/04:   Results headlines:     

It’s an all-North-East Final in EBL 2, as Durham go for the Treble, and Northumbria try for three wins in four consecutive appearances,  

08/04:   All EBL Division 1 Women’s teams reloaded and updated in.Clubs’ Directory  

07/04:   BBL: Milton Keynes boost play-offs hopes, with victory at PAWs;    Table     Report  

06/04:   Continuing to reload the Clubs’ Directory - added ALL of the remaining pages for EBL3 South.     

05/04:   Results headlines:     

BBL: Sheffield and Newcastle both win, to keep the title race bubbling; Plymouth win high-scoring thriller at Milton Keynes;    Table     Reports  

04/04:   Results headlines:     

BBL: Glasgow strengthen hold on third place, and end Guildford’s interest in the play-offs; Worcester push closer still to eighth place;    Table     Reports  

EBL 1: Reading end with another win, setting up a 3-way tie for 6th to 8th place, in which they push Taunton into eighth.     Table

EBL 2 Play-offs: Northumbria continue their phenomenal play-off form (three appearances in the last three years, including two titles, from 4th, 6th and 6th) as the seventh placed team win at Brixton!      Flowchart

03/04:   Should the Youth Conference teams be in the same play-off competition as the Premier Division teams? I’ve had some interesting correspondence, asking that question since my attempt to explain the U-18 and U-16 play-offs. So, I’ve now tried to clarify the origins and rationale of the current Youth League structure.

I’ve made minor revisions to our promotion and relegation preview, to take account of final finishing places, and developments during the Division 3 and 4 play-offs.

Continuing to reload the Clubs’ Directory - added pages for EBL3 South teams, Eastside, Glamorgan and Hackney.     

Results headlines:     

BBL: Chester beat Leicester, to creep up on them in the race for fourth place; Worthing and Worcester both win, to keep the last play-off place in the balance;      Table     Reports

EBL 1: Derby are Champions, as they beat Bristol, and Leeds crash at Manchester, who finish as runners-up again, in the three-way 2nd-4th tie that came down to points difference between the tied teams;     Table.

EBL 2 Play-offs: Durham are made to struggle by Glyndwr, but the Champions break away in the last three minutes; Mansfield book safe passage against Medway Park; form team Edmonton dump out Westminster;     Flowchart .  

02/04:   I finally got fed up with slowly transferring past years’ pages into the newer web-programme, since I have to transfer all the information from each old page onto the new one, by “copy and paste” - and then have to reformat it! I shall carry on with 2008-9 Results, and with Clubs’ Directory, but for all previous years I’m simply going to re-upload the old pages, with new links. It’ll still take a while, but only about a tenth of what it would take to renew them, and I’ve begun with the (very few) pages from 2000-2001.

BBL: Sheffield hold on against Everton to go top of the table;     Table     Report   

31/03:   “At a glance” Results’ Matrixes now completely up to date for EBL1, EBL2, EBL3, EBL4 and EBL1 Women.

30/03:   Burnell to step down at Leopards

BBL: Sheffield go level with top of the table; Milton Keynes edge closer to securing a place in the play-offs;    Table     Reports   

29/03:   BBL: Cheshire shade Milton Keynes by one in overtime, to keep up the chase for a top four finish;    Table     Report  

EBL 2 Men: The result at the time of abandonment at Birmingham As is confirmed, and play-off line-up as predicted.  

All EBL Division 3 North clubs now have full Directory pages. Now, if only someone can help me further update some of the teamlists, please let me know.

28/03:   With no game to go to this weekend, I’ve spent a lot of time catching up. All recently missed Clubs’ match reports are now posted. Many updated Club Directory pages for EBL3 and EBL 4 Men are now also online.  

Results headlines:  Previous EBL headlines archived to Review   

BBL: Essex win two on the bounce, as they push PAWs further back at the foot of the table; Leicester‘s grip on third place loosens, with defeat at Cheshire, while Glasgow win;     Table     Reports  

EBL 1: Bristol win to go level with Derby and Leeds at the top, so Manchester‘s win is not enough to keep them in the title hunt. Next Saturday’s mouthwatering fixtures will see Derby and Bristol go head to head, while Leeds visit Manchester. If Leeds win at Manchester, they will be champions, regardless of the other result; if Leeds lose, the winner at Derby will take the title.

EBL 2: Edmonton finish strongly, with win at Brixton;     Flowchart  [based on the Westminster assumption].  

EBL 1 Women: Top two both finish with a win.     Final Table     Play-off Flowchart   

EBL 2 Women Play-offs: Stockport reach a record-equalling fifth Final;     Play-off Flowchart

U-18 Men: Play-off flowchart ;

U-16 Men: ;  Play-off flowchart ;

U-18 Women: ; Play-off flowchart ;

U-16 Women: ; Play-off flowchart ;

27/03:   Results headlines:  Previous EBL headlines archived to Review

BBL: Essex end Guildford‘s lingering play-off hopes; Leicester continue their push to clinch third place;     Table     Reports

26/03:   I’ve been working on a few “tidying up” issues, and as well as catching up with most of the recent Clubs’ Match Reports, I’ve redesigned the drop-down site-menu, moving it from the side of this page to a horizontal bar near the top. I’ve also reduced the number of items in each drop-down box (by subdividing the larger groupings), as they seemed to be overlapping the browser margins, which made some links inaccessible. Let me know if this works better for you, please.

22/03:   Youth Play-offs flowcharts updated with the final few pieces of information from EB (and I’d only got one error on my working-out).   

18/03:   We take our annual look at the prospects for promotion and relegation between the various EBL divisions.

03/03:   With the end of their regular season fast approaching we (attempt to) explain the format and rationale of the U-18 and U-16 play-offs

01/03:   By public demand (one person, anyway), the Diary’s back ... with a tale to chill the blood (well, it chilled mine).   

18/02:   The flowcharts for the Senior Play-offs and Youth Play-offs (without teams inserted yet, of course) are now online.

17/02:   5-Star camp comes to Leeds.

15/02:   As the end of the regular season draws closer, here’s our annual guide to how the senior play-offs work.

08/02:   Goresbrook and Barking Abbey to host International Tournament

29/01:   England are back! (external link)

28/01:   More credit crunching!  Rockets part with Coach.

Wolves heading for Market.

Dragons sign ex-Carnegie guard

25/01:   Clubs’ Directory is now complete for EBL2, as well as BBL and EBL1.

15/01:   It doesn’t appear to have been formally announced (except to those teams whose fixtures are affected), but London Heathrow Acers have withdrawn from EBL1 Women! With a decent 4&4 record, AND ONLY A MONTH AFTER THEY APPEARED IN THE Cup semi-final, I can only surmise that this must be related to finance.

08/12:   Wolves snap up PJ

02/12:   Wolves’ problems mount as Chuck Evans is suspended, and resigns, and the club’s next five games are postponed. Full story (on BBL)  

01/12:   Mads Olesen quits as Medway Park Head Coach

23/11:   Begun to reload Archives, beginning with Senior Results and Tables for 2008-9

23/07:  The credit crunch hits Youth Basketball, as RAF Careers are forced to axe their sports sponsorship, including their sponsorship of the Youth leagues and Final Fours! Full story on EB.

20/07:   Those of a nervous disposition, or those who don’t give a damn about the details of our problems during June and July, should read no further. If you are inquisitive (or masochistic) enough to want to know the full, gory details, you’ll find them in the July Diary.

11/05:   EBL Women’s League format, 2009 - 2010

10/05:   Who's in, who's out? Who's up, who's down? Our annual explanation and analysis of the Men's EBL for 2009-2010 now includes correction to the information on Plymouth, revised information on Tees Valley Sonics and Tees & Wear Valley Supersonics, and information about newcomers "Essex Basketball" (and their links to the proposed new BBL franchise in Southend).
