A ONE GAME SHOWDOWN

Words from the Chairman

- Carl Heslop

So, after a full game season it all comes down to this, one game against two teams to see which one makes the playoffs. It’s a rerun of last season and we will hope that history repeats itself with London awaiting in the following weekend.

We were hoping that Caledonia would do us a favour on Thursday night, but it wasn’t to be, and Newcastle have done really well to battle out two wins in their last three to get them into this position.

Big performances are going to be needed today across the roster with a combined team performance and not relying on a few players to get us over the line. It will be tense; it will be exciting and collectively the team need to come together to get the job done.

We are going to need every ounce of home advantage today and sure that the fans will make a big difference. This season despite not having all the results we wanted have seen the fans being absolutely superb this campaign. Attendances have been up by 24%, whilst selling the most season tickets of any professional basketball club in the city.

From a season where we were very prepared having secured six of our previous roster to return it has been immensely frustrating losing four of them playing this year through different reasons. It has resulted in a mixed roster and mixed results, and everyone can be assured that we are working extremely hard to get a more consistent team next season.

If this is our last home game, I would like to thank everyone who has made things happen this season from the Head coach Pj, staff, players, cheerleaders, mascot and volunteers. It has been an extremely difficult season for a multitude of reasons with frustrations regarding venue and an immense amount of work to keep the show on the road. However, we have so much to look forward to as the club has grown majorly off court with a lot more to announce. I thank every one of those who have helped me to achieve so much this season.

I would also like to thank our sponsors this year who have been great and continue to help us drive professional basketball in the city and throughout the UK. It is very much appreciated, and we look forward to seeing you all today.

Let’s give it one final push to get the job done and thanks again.

COACH PJ A WORD FROM

Today we host the Newcastle Eagles in our final BBL championship match of the 2022-23 season.

Just like last season, there’s a lot riding on this game. The team that wins goes through to the end of season playoffs and the loser goes home. This is the exact scenario we had last season and between the same two teams and hopefully we will have the same result!

Friday, we travelled to London to play the Lions and despite the final score line I was happy with large periods of our play at both ends of the floor.

We were able to get multiple stops against London, which was good to see, but we didn’t score the ball anywhere near enough having been given this opportunity. If you don’t make them pay during these moments, they will inevitably sooner or later find their rhythm and then they are very hard to shut down. We kept on battling and did some good things in the second half and if we can do the same tonight, I’m confident we can get this game won.

As this is our last regular season game, I want to thank you our amazing supporters, who have been there for the team from the start to now. You have been our heartbeat and without you, things would have been so much more difficult at times, so I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being there for us throughout. You’ve had a lot to deal with this season and it’s been a roller coaster ride at times with players coming and going, but the one thing that stayed true was you, so thank you!

I also want to thank Plymouth Marjon University and the support team behind the team and particularly Oli, Sophie, for their expertise and the work they have done with the team to keep them going physically and mentally.

We have a great working relationship with Marjon University, and I look forward to continuing the development of our association further in years to come and making basketball a focus sport and the place to be in the South West if you want a good education alongside developing as a basketball student athlete. These are very exciting times for both Marjon and the Patriots.

Thanks to our sponsors, volunteers, and everyone else who has helped the Patriots in some way this season. You have all been amazing.

Thank you to the players for their efforts this season. It hasn’t been easy that’s for sure, but hopefully we can get this one won today and get to play a couple more games together in the playoffs.

To my work colleagues, fantastic work this season thank you for your hard work and support. Carl, I tip my hat to you as you are the driving force behind us all, making us better at what we do. You’re the man!

Welcome to Coach Steutel, his staff, players, and Newcastle Eagles supporters for this BBL Winner takes ALL, Championship game.

ENJOY THE GAME.

MATCH REPORT

A blistering second half lifted Cheshire Phoenix to an 85-68 win over the Plymouth City Patriots at the Pavilions.

Neither team could be separated in the first half of play until the Phoenix rose above their counterparts in a dominant second half display that saw the visitors outscore the Patriots 49-32 and claim the win. Larry Austin Jr. led the winners with a solid double-double of 21 points and 10 rebounds with Maceo Jack adding 19.

Despite succumbing to their third straight defeat, Plymouth hold on to the eighth spot and are still in control heading into the final two games of the BBL Championship season. Ralph Bissainthe paced Plymouth with 13 points.

Cheshire had the upper hand to start as the first four minutes saw both teams struggle from outside and rely on their inside game, but Marcus Evans found some joy from the mid-range, as his corner jumper gave the Phoenix an 11-7 cushion.

From there, the energetic Otas Iyekekpolor single-handedly put Plymouth back into the game with five quick points and with his guidance, the hosts narrowed the gap as the visitors went through a cold spell, missing their next five shots.

Rashad Hassan deservedly put the Patriots ahead inside at 17-15 before finally Austin Jr. connected on a tough lay-up to tie the game at 17-17 with two minutes remaining and as the pace quickened, it favoured Cheshire as they led 22-19 after one.

Despite a strong start from the Phoenix, Plymouth hit back as a three from Ty Gadsden and a corner jumper from Isa Brandon narrowed the gap to 27-26 with 7:43 left in the second.

The play turned scrappy, with Plymouth fighting for the last spot in the post-season, they battled and hustled for everything and eventually they knotted things up at 34-34 thanks to a long two from Hassan with 1:34 left and that’s how it stayed at the half.

It was a matter of who would come out of the gates faster in a crucial game towards the end of the BBL Championship season. It didn’t take long for that question to be answered.

Match report by BBL

A 17-2 burst from the Phoenix stretching for the first six minutes of the third put the visitors up 5338 and despite Brandon connecting from deep, Cheshire were in control heading into the fourth. Plymouth were only down by ten points in the fourth and had their chance. However, a 7-0 start by Cheshire put that plan on ice, as the Patriots could not recover.

GRAPHIC DESIGN CREATIVE HERO

How do you choose the right people to create your brand, conceive your next ad campaign, or design packaging for your new product? There are numerous agencies and freelancers in the Plymouth area alone, many producing strong creative work. Clearly, you need to check their portfolios and fees. But, crucially, you also need to know how they work and why they design the way they do.

Great design is as much about function, as it is about being beautiful. My approach is to understand your plans, assess the challenges you may face, and find effective solutions to realise your goals. Whatever the job, I aim to produce design that increases recognition in your target audience, tells your story and prompts customers to choose you over your competition.

Just speak to my clients and see what they have to say.
