HEAD COACH

Gardner was previously the Director of Basketball Operations at Barking Abbey, where he helped over 100 students move onto scholarships in the USA and into professional basketball careers.
The former junior international has become one of the most well-respected coaches in the country and was named BBL Coach of the Month during his first month in charge.
LAST TIME OUT
Bristol Flyers suffered a crushing road defeat against London City Royals in the BBL Cup.
The Flyers were unable to capitalise from a strong start and a crucial 17-0 run in the second period allowed the hosts pull away and never look back.

WHAT THEY SAY
"Andrew Lawrence is a very good player who can score the ball and create for others - he’s a tough matchup for our team.
"We just need to make it difficult for him and not give him any rhythm shots - which is easier said than done.”
