Saturday, November 17th 2018
Check out our weekly preview for everything that's happening around the club this weekend away from the Bristol Flyers first team.
This week’s home highlight is a top of the table clash for Flyers Women in NBL Division One. They take on undefeated Anglia Ruskin University at WISE on Saturday (5.30pm tip).
Bristol Flyers II
Flyers II fought hard against Swindon Shock on the road but came away defeated, 104-94. Flyers are currently joint fifth in the Division three table with a 1-3 record. They will regroup this week before playing last place Barking Abbey (0-3) on the road on Saturday, November 24th.
Bristol Flyers Women
Flyers Women retain the top spot in WNBL Division One after their 61-70 road win over Reading Rockets on Sunday. Cristina Bigica led all scorers with 23 points. Centre Becks Cantin contributed 13 points and big rebounding numbers including eight in the first quarter alone.
The win improves Flyers’ record to 5-1. Anglia Ruskin now look the most dangerous to catch them with their own 3-0 record. The two teams face off this Saturday at WISE in a key matchup topping off a full day of basketball (5.30pm tip).
Flyers Under-18s Premier
After a weekend off Flyers remain at 3-0 in the Premier Central division. They are in second place, one game back from first place Team Birmingham Elite with their 4-0 record.
The Flyers host West Bromwich Albion at WISE on Saturday November 17th (3.30pm tip). West Brom are currently fourth in the league with a 1-2 record. League leaders Team Birmingham Elite are not playing this weekend so Flyers have a chance to catch them up with a win over West Brom.
Flyers Under-18s Conference
Flyers U18 II lost 82-50 away against Dorset Storm last Sunday. This week they head West to face Vale Vipers on Saturday 17th November. Flyers II are still searching for their first win at 0-5 while Vipers are undefeated at 4-0.
