The Men’s National Shield Semi Final draw was confirmed today after all four teams advanced past the quarter final stages last weekend.

Team Northumbria will host the Manchester Magic while Taunton Tigers entertain East Kent Crusaders in the South West – both games will be played on Sunday, 5th February.

The 2006 silverware will be taken home by a new team this season as last year’s champions, Aston Athletics, have been promoted to Division II.  The competition is open to Division III men’s teams only.

The National Shield Final will be held at the Amaechi Basketball Centre in Manchester on 26th February alongside two other finals – the Patron’s Cup (Div II Men) and the Women’s Trophy (Div II Women).
