ANOTHER GAME AND ANOTHER WIN – THE SKYS THE LIMIT Words from the Chairman - Carl Heslop

It was great to be back at the pavilions again and put on such a measured performance and win against team wales. Although the difference in ability was clear in the first half, I think the players showed a great deal of respect to the team and used the time well to run through some sets. We eagerly now await Cheshire in the quarter finals and look forward to packing the pavilions to give us every chance to progress into the next round and a road to the Semi Finals. What an achievement it would be to get to the later stages of the competition and hope we can count on your support. It’s now back to BBL Championship business and we always welcome the visit of our friends Surrey Scorchers to the pavilions with games against both sides proving to be competitive. Both rosters look different to the last time the teams met and it will prove to be a battle of who can gain some much-needed points and with surrey beating London Lions we are sure their tails will be up. As we have been awarded the best kit in the league it was great to see so many replica kits at the last game and although many have yet to arrive from Kappa, we look forward to seeing a sea of teal, white and black patriot’s jerseys over the coming months.

Due to numerous requests, we have also issued the fans an opportunity to purchase mini season tickets for the last 7 games of the season. It’s great that due to our new fanbase these seats are in demand and look forward to welcoming everyone to the pavilions for the later stages of the season. Our junior basketball league continues to gain momentum and we are pleased despite additional covid measures in place that we have strong numbers for all our sessions. We are also adding a new little ballers session in the next term, so the club is really excited to now have the ability to train children from ages 4 to 16 and ensure that basketball coaching is available for all. We’ve also been really pleased to see the reaction to Pat Riot our new mascot who has found himself right at home at the Pavilions. To see all the children, get really fond of him in a short space of time makes us really proud and look forward to seeing how much mischief he can get up to this season. Attendances are rising and we would like to thank everyone for their continued support which is so valuable this season which we need to keep growing. Spread the word that this is the best show in town and let’s continue to grow the next generation of Basketball fans.

A WORD FROM

COACH PJ SPONSORED BY

Good afternoon and welcome to the Plymouth Pavilions for today’s BBL Championship game against Surrey Scorchers. Today’s game is also being shown live on Sky Sports, which adds a little more incentive for the team to perform at its highest level this evening. Last week I had a chance to give everyone a good run out in the game against team Wales in the BBL Trophy first round. We had a very good week of practice leading up to the Wales game and for the first time this season we had our full complement of players. We were able to work on some of the little things that have been lacking from some of our performances and I thought it was clear to see the improvement we made just from having that time together with everyone. I thought we did some good things during the game at both ends of the floor, and were professional in our approach. We executed our offensive sets well, shared the ball better than we have done in previous games and pushed the ball well in transition. All these things we still need to improve on, but it was a big step in the right direction. Defensively we also went about the job in hand well and made life difficult for the Team Wales side by the way we were aggressive and determined not to allow them easy baskets. It was also nice that I was able to give our Marjon students, Isaiah, Liam, and Dan some decent time on court. They work hard week in week out in training and so It was good to be able to reward them in this game. I’m hoping that we can get the second half of our championship season off to a good start against a Surrey team who managed to pick up a good win against the London Lions on New Years Day. If we are to make a run for a playoff spot, these are the games that are must wins for us. So, this is a massive game for us today. I would like to give a warm welcome to Coach Creon, his players, and staff for this BBL Championship game. Go Patriots!!!
