The rematch is finally here, against one of our favourite rival CVL teams! 🤩 Last time we beat NottinghamRookies by an incredible three point buzzer be**er from .williams_, but the Rookies have been training hard after some very impressive recent wins. Can we pull a double win out of the bag? We will find out on the 31st! A massive thank you goes out to our amazing sponsor, Ian Thompson Mortgage Services. With 30+ years experience in providing residential and buy-to-let mortgage advice you couldn’t be in better hands than with Ian. What’s more, Ian has said that for every lead from the club that results in an completed mortgage, Ian will sponsor an additional game for us next season. So if you need to arrange a mortgage anytime soon, please, please give IT mortgag services a call on 01773424220 or visit itmortgageservices.com for more info 🙏

Well it’s the start of 2024 and we are going at it full throttle. Our first game this season is our long awaited friendly rematch versus LBBL division 2 team, Gateway Galaxy. After one of our most incredible games to date we beat Galaxy by just two points back in August, but now they have challenged us to a rematch and this time they are out for revenge… 😈 Will they succeed or will they be humbled by the might of East Leake once again? All will be decided on Monday night 👊 Gateway Basketball Club

Sad news, but due to low numbers we have decided to stop running our sessions on a Thursday night. We plan to run Thursday night sessions over the summer/off-season. More details to follow later in the year. A massive thanks to everyone that attended our sessions over the last year and a half. Team training sessions will continue as normal on a Monday night 👍

I don’t usually post as myself, but I sponsored this game, so here is my message to my team mates: “I’m immensely proud of you guys and how hard you have been working, regardless of whether we win or lose, you should all be proud of what you have achieved in such a short period of time. Keep working hard and growing as a team, believe in yourselves, your coach and most importantly each other. I’d just like to take this opportunity to say thank you to each and every one of you. Go out there tomorrow night, play your best and most importantly have fun! This one’s on me 😉” — Dave

Definitely not the result we were hoping for, but congratulations to Ilkeston Hawks for being the better team on the night and securing a 73-60 victory. Also a massive shout out to East Leake Leisure Centre for sponsoring us this game. It goes without saying that we have huge love for East Leake Leisure Centre, it is our home venue, with great staff that always go out of our way to look after us.
