Final Fours Playoff Weekend
2 May 2012
Senior Final Fours Round-Up
The Senior Final Fours at ABC on 28-29 April proved to be a resounding success and a fitting end to the Senior EBL Season. The atmosphere throughout the weekend showed that basketball in England is alive and kicking and, in particular, the various sets of supporters for the Final games on the Sunday were terrific in support of their teams.
Many people were involved in helping the Club to run the weekend and deserve great credit for making it such a great success. Many thanks to all! Special thanks should go to Freda and Jane who led the team of volunteers so well and much credit should go to them.
The key factor in being able to host such a prestigious event at ABC has been the massive support from Manchester City Council throughout the years. We are aware of significant financial restrictions at Local Government level throughout the country, but it would be a great shame if Manchester City Council, England Basketball and our Club could not find a way to continue this success story. Notwithstanding this, we are truly grateful for having Manchester City Council as a partner over the many years of our relationship.
