CHESHIRE PHOENIX PRO BASKETBALL [CHESHIRE PHOENIX] [PRO BASKETBALL] Cheshire Phoenix is a professional basketball club that was established from the ashes of the Cheshire Jets. They currently compete in the British Basketball League and play their home games at the Northgate Arena. The team has made a solid start to their current league campaign, having compiled a record of 6 wins and 5 defeats from their 11 matches. This has left them sitting near the top of the table with 12 points on the board. This should give them a solid platform from which to build as they look ahead towards the rest of the season. They will be looking to put together a good run of form to secure their position in the play-offs and should be in for a successful campaign once their players gel together. The team is also entered in the BBL Trophy and are currently awaiting the draw for the competition. They enjoyed a good run of form in this competition last year, making it all the way to the semi-finals and there is a confidence among the players that they have the ability to do even better this time around. This competition probably represents their best chance of silverware this Proud Sponsors of the Cheshire Basketball Club Your trusted accountants come rain or shine Serving clients in Cheshire and Beyond For more details please visit our website www.affordbond.com 22 ISSUE 03
