From the opening tip, UW set the tone with. Forcing turnovers and creating opportunities in transition. Despite BCU’s attempts to claw back into the game. UW maintained control throughout. Winning each quarter, stretching the lead to 28pts, midway through the 4th quarter.

A midst the victory, a standout performance off the bench for Seidina Doukoure, provided a spark. A combination of drives and good shooting, relentless energy of both ends of the floor. Was pivotal in allowing UW to stay in control of the game and not lose momentum, whenever BCU made a run.

Earl said “it’s a testament to the work we’ve put in as a team. Pushing each other in practice everyday to be better. Without them pushing me and me pushing them, I wouldn’t win anything.”

UW Men 1st 80 – 72 Anglia Ruskin 1st

Men gain some momentum in the league with a win over ARU. ARU boast a squad full of talent and depth, so the game was always going to be a battle. Worcester started off strong with some early baskets from Wilfrid Santhe, Fin Rennie, Humberto and Daijaun. However the introduction of first year student Jesse Kilara allowed Worcester to develop an early lead. His tenacity and energy off the bench saw him score a quick 7pts to close the quarter and stretch the lead 22-15.

Strong quarter from ARU saw them tie things up 47-47 by half time.

Our guys came up with a point to prove, with some better defense and limited ARU to a 10pt 3rd quarter. Things remained the same in the 4th and we managed to close things out with 20-15pt 4th quarter.

Our Men’s 2nd and Men’s 3rd team still in search of their first wins of the season.

“We spend a large portion of our time on skill development. It’s also great to have our WBPL Worcester Wolves team here also. Our team will practice with them also. Our players also play for teams competing BWB Premier League.”

What are your thoughts on the team and our performance after the 2 rounds of games?

The team have not only picked up where we left off at the end of last season, but so far have elevated our performances further this year. We are playing confident, team focussed basketball, with each round so far having a really balanced scoring spread.

Who impressed you from the team?

Imogen has really impressed me so far. Her work in the off season to get herself into a competetive place for minutes has really shown, and she’s gone from a limited role last year to playing a huge part in our success so far, especially scoring around the basket.

Have the new players integrated well?

So far it feels like our new players have fit in really well with the squad. Players are looking to buy in to the way we play and our identity and are working hard to improve. They’re working hard and are looking to improve. They know they need to earn their minutes and are doing what they can to improve and earn their spot in the rotation.

Roll on February where we take on Cardiff Met and East London in Round 3.

This coming Sunday see’s the beginning of the season for our Wheelchair team. Our Men and Women will return to action this time competing in the Southern Tier. In previous seasons our team competed in the Midlands Tier, against Nottingham and Loughborough who fielded two teams.

With the teams now realigned. Our team will now compete against University of East London and Cardiff Met. Our team will be looking to make it to the Finals for the 3rd year in a row.

with some new recruits coach Lucas is looking forward to the start of the season. “we have some new players coming in who have some experience to go with our seasoned group. Should be an exciting season. Everyone is looking forward to it”

First fixtures see our team take on Cardiff Met Open 1 and East London Open 1. The following week we host both teams at St John’s Sport Centre. With the final round of games taking place in February in East London.

Our wheelchair team has been our most successful team over the last few years. We hope they can build on that success this season.
