UP FOR THE THUNDER CUP

29/07/08

Worthing Thunder Basketball Club is pleased to announce their first ever international tournament, with news that the “Thunder Cup” will be played at the Worthing Leisure Centre on Saturday 13th September.

Joining the Thunder in the competition as they prepare for their first season in the British Basketball League will be current Irish Superleague Champions DART Killester, 11 time Irish Superleague winners Neptune from Cork, and EBL Division 1 side London Leopards.   

The action will start at 2pm and continues throughout the day with two semi finals, a 3/4th play-off and the final due to tip off at 8pm.  Tickets for all or part of the day are priced at £3. 

Worthing Thunder head coach Gary Smith is looking forward to the opportunity to pit his BBL team against two of the best sides in Ireland and a London Leopards team that could be challenging for honours in Division 1 this year: “This is an exciting prospect for the team ahead of the challenge of competing in the BBL for the first time.  Whoever we play will be a tough match-up and just what we need to get us focussed on the task we have ahead of us in the coming months.  It gives the players a chance to put the things we do in practice into the game situation and to show me that they are ready for the likes of Plymouth and Newcastle, who will be coming to the Thunderdome in the first two weeks of the regular season.  This tournament should set us up nicely!”
