This weekend spare a thought for the players who make up the City of Edinburgh Basketball Club teams as they have a very busy schedule with nine home matches lined up! Their teams cover a wide age range though so it will not be the same players each time, but it makes for a busy basketball weekend.
All matches will be played at Holy Rood High School – against West Lothian Wolves, Dunfermline Region and Highland Bears.
Ahead of the busy weekend Club Chair, Amy Morgan said: “Nine games in a weekend is a great advert for our club, and we must thank Holy Rood High School for being so accommodating as we get ready to move into the new Portobello High School in the next few weeks.
“It shows the depth of our club and how we are continuing to grow and invest in our youth development programme with seven of these national league games being at under-age level, and that’s not to mention our Under 10, 12 and 14 teams taking part in the Regional Development Leagues this weekend, with the Under 14 teams getting the exciting opportunity to play at the new National Performance Centre.
“We look forward to welcoming lots of friends of the club over the weekend to what we hope will be a successful one.”
