Leadonites U17s withdrawn from YBL's WMFS Trophy
Leadonites Basketball U17s have been withdrawn from the YBL's WMFS Trophy competition due to the low numbers within that age group.
Of the eleven players that made up the 2016/17 U16s squad only three have actually re-signed with another two stating that they intend to do so. Five players, even with players stepping up from this season's U15s squad, is simply not enough to be able to give proper respect to a YBL match. Added to this the first match was due to be against Worcester Wolves U19s.
Head Coach, Matthew Chalkley, contacted the YBL Fixtures Secretary, James Robinson, during the week to withdraw the team from their competition.
This does not mean the end for this team but it does mean that new players need to be recruited ahead of entry into this coming season's Glozball CVL and any JBDA friendly matches that may be arranged. The Seniors squad re-building process has already started.
The Seniors weekly training session will be held at Ledbury Leisure Centre (at the JMHS sports hall) on Thursday evenings starting at 8:30pm and finishing at 9:30pm. As this is now a full-court session all year 10 players within the club have been invited to join and support their year 11 and 12 club-mates by attending this session.
