CANNONS BLAST TO RECORD WIN

Clacton Leisure Centre was rocking last Friday night as the Cannons team put on a real display to record the biggest victory in the club's history (87-33), and the win was made even sweeter as it came against their local Clacton rivals, The Centurions. 

The sidelines were packed with at least 50 supporters, and they created great noise throughout the game. Their team didn't not disappoint them either, as Cannons put on a real team performance. This game saw each Cannons player register at least one basket, and many scores were made after some delightful free flowing passing moves. Players Rhys Tight (17), Riley Taylor (17) and Daniel Tight (14) combined for 48 of the Cannons 87 points. Although it was a three pointer from Richard Edwards and a fantastic teardrop runner from Ben Wilkins that really got the crowd on their feet. 

Coach Chris Tight was over-the-moon with the victory, in particular praising his team's tireless defensive efforts and outstanding togetherness. 

Cannons are in good form at the moment, winning two of their last three league games and currently sitting fifth in the Suffolk Senior League Division 2, a mere two points off of the summit. 

Cannons are next at home on Friday 18th November, 19:40, versus Braintree Blue Devils. Why not come along for FREE and support your local basketball club.
