Friday, November 2nd 2018
We take an in-depth look at what's happening around the club this weekend away from the Bristol Flyers first team.
The home highlight this week is a double header at WISE on Saturday. The Under-16 boys open up against Surrey Rams (11.30am) and the Under-18s Premier team follow against Oaklands Wolves (1.30pm). With free entry these games are a great way to warm up for the BBL clash against Newcastle Eagles.
Bristol Flyers II
Flyers II are half way through an extended break and play again on Saturday, November 10th when they are away at Swindon Shock. Flyers are currently fourth in the Division Three table with a 1-2 record. Swindon are joint first with a 3-2 record having defeated Essex Blades on Saturday 111-75 on Saturday. The Shock have multiple offensive threats and their backcourt pairing are looking strong coming off a double-double performance on Saturday, Ed Potter had 32 points and 14 rebounds and Antonio Wilburn 31 points and 14 assists.
Bristol Flyers Women
Flyers Women had back-to-back wins at the weekend. First, they secured a 67-55 road win against Loughborough Riders, where Christina Bigica led all scorers with 18 points and Becks Cantin added eight points and 16 rebounds. The win sees Flyers take the top spot in WNBL Division One with a 4-1 record. Team Solent Kestrels (3-1) and Ipswich basketball (3-2) are close behind the Flyers so they need to keep their consistency to maintain the league leading position.
The ladies were straight back in action the next day, with a home game in the National Cup. They defeated visiting Division Two side Northamptonshire Titans 94-45. Bigica again led in scoring with 23 points but also contributed eight assists and five rebounds. Captain Fiona Fox added 18 points and nine rebounds from the bench.
