The Cannons KS2 Basketball League is gradually expanding across the district. This month it ran at both Clacton County High School and Harwich And Dovercourt High School. Seven primary schools comprising of children in years 4, 5 and 6 competed across both tournaments to try and move their way up the league table. 

St Osyth Scorpions retained top spot after another convincing set of performances at the Clacton competition. Scorpions beat Holland Park Panthers, Alton Park All-Stars and Holland Haven Heat en-route to registering a 100% record this month. The Panthers and All-Stars both registered a couple of victories in this tournament which shows signs of the development they are making. The Heat failed to win this month, however the performance levels were high and a few baskets they scored were amongst some if the highlights of the tournament. They showed great togetherness and teamwork as they  defended tirelessly and worked the ball up the court quickly in order to create scoring chances. 

Over at the Harwich event a late withdrawal saw just the one game take place, however this was definitely a case of saving the best until last. Mayflower Mavericks took on Two Village Titans. The Mavs raced into a large lead, however The Titans grew in confidence throughout the game and finished the game very strong, The Mavs held on to win by 6 (36-30) but had the game been a couple of minutes longer the result could have been different.   

The Cannons KS2 Basketball League is developed and run by Cannons Basketball Club, and it is supported fantastically by the PE departments and students at the high schools that host the tournaments. 

Cannons Basketball Club would like to thank schools, parents and our local sponsors  for their fantastic, continuous, support of the KS2 Basketball League. 

Next tournaments are due to take place in mid-December. For more information on to get involved please click on www.cannons2006.co.uk or email us on office@cannons2006.co.uk
