ITS NOT HOW WE START ITS HOW WE FINISH Words from the Chairman - Carl Heslop

Following another great atmosphere at last Sunday’s game, we have barely had time to draw breath until were back at the pavilions against Bristol Flyers in our local derby.

supportive, and we look forward to working closely together in the future to drive Plymouth sport and jointly create as many opportunities for the city as we can.

Games involving both sides are always entertaining and I’m sure that tonight’s game will not be any different. It was a really tough encounter last time in the cup, and we warmly welcome Bristol again to the familiar territory of the pavilions.

As we welcome both Bristol and Albion, we sadly have to say goodbye to Foxy the mascot. Foxy has also been tremendously supportive to the Plymouth City Patriots, and we were honoured to have his participation in our initial home games. The impact that Foxy has had on Plymouth Basketball over the last few decades is immeasurable and we all have our famous Foxy moment that we can call upon. The Nandos Chicken might not be too sad to see the back of Foxy but everyone at the club will be saddened when he finally does his last dunk. Take a bow Foxy, you did your job, and we salute you.

We also welcomed a large proportion of our JBL children with their family and friends to the last game who really added to the game experience. For many it was their first game and to see new people enjoying live basketball for the first time makes all the hard work the club is doing worthwhile. I can’t wait to see how animated they will get when we start winning games! The roster is forming nicely behind the scenes, and we look forward to having our key players back from the sidelines. Elvisi and Kingsley were key pieces of the club recruitment and results have shown that not having them has made a difference. We look forward to having a fullstrength side very soon and you never know there could be some further news very shortly. One thing you can’t accuse our team of is effort and the way the players have still chased games in the 4th quarter proves their commitment to the cause and it’s that work ethic that will prove invaluable at the season progresses. We also welcome the mighty Plymouth Albion who are joining us today as our very special guests. Since the changes in Plymouth Basketball, Albion have been tremendously

A WORD FROM

COACH PJ SPONSORED BY

Good evening and welcome to the Plymouth Pavilions for today’s BBL cup group stage game against Bristol Flyers. On Sunday against London Lions, I thought after the first quarter we showed some good qualities and fought back well against a team that was built for European competition and who were also on the day shooting the ball exceptionally well. When you look at the statistics, we were able to shoot the ball the same number of times as London with the difference being they obviously made more shots than we did. On reviewing the game film, we created some very good and wide-open scoring chances, this is a good sign for us. If we can now start to convert some of these chances, we will give ourselves a chance of being in a game at the end and this is where we need to be if we are to give ourselves a chance of winning a game. There are a few things that we can control and need to get better at, but the determination and effort is there and once we have a few more fit bodies we will be able to rotate the bench and be in a better position moving forward. Today, Foxy sadly makes his last appearance for the team. I am saddened and very disappointed by this and feel more upset for the many children and families who have been engaged by Foxy when at Plymouth games.

In the BBL, Foxy has been the standard for every mascot to follow and thus far no other mascot has come close to doing what he does. Foxy has been and will remain the number one mascot in the country and personally would like to thank him for all that he has done to increase the number of people attending games and taking the game day experience to another level. Foxy, a massive thank you for everything you have done, you have been the best. It’s going to be another tough test for our team tonight, but I hope once again we will show signs of improvement. I would like to give a warm welcome to Bristol’s coaching staff, the players, and staff for this BBL cup group stage game.

FOXY HAS BEEN AND WILL REMAIN THE NUMBER ONE MASCOT IN THE COUNTRY!
