Further, by Chris Tight, Head Coach & Director

Cannons 2006 launched the first basketball key stage 2 league on Tuesday has proven a great success. School teams from Holland Park, St Osyth and Mayflower put on a brilliant display of basketball showing good team spirit and sportsmanship being shown by all. The league opened with a nail biting very exciting game between Holland Park Panthers and Mayflower Mavericks with the league changing continuously with the Mavericks holding off the Panthers to win 14-12. Second game saw St Osyth Scorpions make their debut with a 20-10 victory over Holland Park Panthers and continued their performance into another victory against Mayflower Mavericks in a hard fought game eventually winning 18-11. So leading the league table with 10 points is St Osyth followed by Mayflower on 7 points and Holland Park on 4 points, with very little to choose between the team...this could all change at next months meeting. With cannons having community sessions u11 & u14 local league teams and strong links to Essex blades national league teams there is a clear pathway for all participants to follow.
