We are proud to officially introduce the Unity Masters Over 35s squad heading to the GB Masters Basketball Tournament 2026 in Cardiff.

🏀 Unity Through Basketball Masters are hitting the road this Friday as they head to Cardiff for the GB Masters Tournament.
Last year saw the lads crowned champions, the whole Unity family is right behind them as they look to defend their title once again.
Coach Leigh stated:
“I am super excited to get going at this year’s GB Masters. We have had a really good training block in the lead up to these champs. As a team we are gutted to be missing two key players in Marcus and Lee, but very pleased to have added experience to our backcourt in Nick, Caine and Ian, alongside a very experienced big man in Jon, who are all making their UTB Masters debuts.
None of this would have been possible without the incredible support of all of our sponsors and of course our amazing Team Manager, Maddy.”
The squad are ready, the kits are packed, and the team will once again stand side by side representing Unity Through Basketball with pride.
Good luck to all the lads this weekend — bring it home again! 🏆
2026, here we come!
