Social Media Spotlight - Reaction to Flyers' thrilling overtime comeback
Saturday, September 21st 2019
We round up the best of the reaction on social media to Bristol Flyers' comeback victory over Surrey Scorchers.
WELCOMED BACK IN STYLE
Our partners at Jaq's leisure welcomed the team back in style with a balloon archway surrounding the players' entrance.
We loved having the chance to make this archway for the players to run out through at tonight's @BristolFlyers opening game of the @BBLofficial season.

Great determination and resilience shown by @BristolFlyers tonight against @surreyscorchers to come back from 17 down with under 6 minutes to play and then go on to win by 8 in overtime! Lots for @CoachKapoulas to work on but great to start the season with a win. pic.twitter.com/8pjOdrEOxd
