26/08/08 With four weeks until the start of the 2008-9 BBL season, the BiG Storage Cheshire Jets have announced a series of pre-season matches involving their BBL rivals Sheffield Sharks, EBL Division 1 2007/8 Champions Manchester Magic and two local National league sides. The full programme is as follows;
Sunday
7th September v Wirral Hornets @ Woodchurch
High School. Tip-off 3pm Sunday 21st September v Sheffield Sharks @ Northgate Arena Tip off 5.30pm. BiG Storage Cheshire Jets head coach Paul Smith commented, "the announcement of the pre-season friendlies is always the time when the hopes and expectations for the new season start to surface, and this year is no exception. We have been working hard throughout the close season to build our new team, which we have very high hopes for. “However well practice and training go, there is no comparison with playing competitive games. It also gives our fans a chance to preview the new players and to welcome back some of their old favourites. We are also delighted to be able to support a couple of local teams in Wirral Hornets and Newi Nets by playing at their venue and hopefully bringing some travelling support.'' The Jets anticipate having their roster complete by the time of the first friendly game, as contract talks with the final players are in their advanced stages.
