Ahoy!

Hello everyone! This week the pirates and their sister team Bath Romans Wheelchair Basketball Club got together for a lovely friendly game on Thursday

It was great fun and good to play with bath again as it has been a hot minute since we have had a game together, hopefully we will organise another one soon.

Thank you to Robin for coaching pirates last night, Alex for being our ref and Bec for being our table, we wouldn’t be able to put the game together without you

Feel free to go over to our or the bath romans YouTube channel to have a watch of the match.

SPOILER WARNING!
Final score was 30-24 for the pirates well done guys

Ahoy!

The UWE Pirates sailed over to Keynsham over the weekend to play a few friendly matches with Bath Romans Wheelchair Basketball Club, Dorset Demons Wheelchair Basketball Club, Swindon Shock Wheelchair Basketball and Swansea Storm WBC, in order to support a referee training course.

It was a fabulous and fun afternoon and the trainee referees all did a great job and were really lush.

If you would like to watch any of the 20 minute matches then head on over to our YouTube channel.

Also big thank you to Robin who was our Coach for the day! Thank you Robin!

Ahoy, Pirates!

What a warm welcome we have had into 2026, practices are back up and running after the winter break, and we are ready to go!

We had ourselves a friendly match against our sister club Bath Romans Wheelchair Basketball Club on Sunday, and it was so much fun!

Thank you so much to Robin for stepping up for us as coach of our Pirates ship this weekend they did an amazing job and Katherine when she hopped back on deck for the second match, thank you both so much!

We took these lovely photos of the team who were there on Sunday (after the match of course to make sure the sweat really makes us look glowing 😍)

I’m sure the videos of Sunday will be up on the Bath Romans YouTube channel soon if you want to go watch.

Keep your non-eye-patched eye out on our social media pages for more updates on what the Pirates get up to, we still have a whole year of pirating to get up to! See you soon!

Ahoy!

What a wonderful weekend, the pirates certainly gave it there all this weekend with three matches across the day, all of which have been live streamed and uploaded onto our YouTube page

One of our matches was against our sister club
Bath Romans Wheelchair Basketball Club so to watch that match go over to the bath romans YouTube channel. Spoiler alert! The pirates managed to come out victorious this time and with the friendly competition between the two teams and it being the pirates only win of the day it was certainly a tense match. I’ll be posting on Facebook and Instagram a short video of the first basket of each game from the pirates, as so to lore 🎣 you in to go have a look at the rest of those games on the YouTube channel so keep an AYE out 🏴‍☠️

Big well done to all our players that scored on Sunday that’s, Harris, Aspen, Katherine, Elliot and Keira. And as always big thank you to rich our ever supportive coach

The scores for all the games are as follows:
Sparrows v pirates 39-2
Magic v pirates 24-10

Thank you so much for everyone who works over in Egham to put on the games and to Nova sports for helping us get equipment there and for all the players who played on Sunday, good job guys
