In what has to be one of the closest end-to-end games in the whole of this season's National League. Kings and High Rollers battle in a game that went to DOUBLE OVERTIME...
High Rollers took an early lead in the First Quarter, before Kings Led at the Half, it was a one-basket game going into the fourth quarter and tied at 61 a piece at the end of regulation.
The end of the first period saw the game still tied at 67 a piece!

Breaking News:
Steven Greenberg, the mayor of Funkytown and the head of Lipps, Inc announced today that Funky Town has secured the rights to the Thames Valley Kings wheelchair basketball club in a shocking twist of events.
Lipps Inc plan to turn the wheelchair basketball club into a "Roller Disco" club by July 1979 but state that they may be a little late making that Ambitious date
When questioned about the takeover Lipps Inc head of Marketing, a women with the name 'Baccara' stated singing "Oooohh! Yes sir, I can boogie... But I need a certain song, I can boogie, boogie woogie all night long"
No one at the Thames Valley Kings could be reached for comment but we did hear muffled screams of "Disco Sucks"
More when we get it!

Due to a certain illness (can you guess which one?) affecting a large number of players in the 3rd team - we have had to postpone the away game against Arrows in Division Three South for Kings III tomorrow.
We will work with Arrows to reschedule as soon as possible and thank them for their understanding in the matter.
The Division One clash between CWBA II and Kings will still take place on Sunday as the first team is non-affected due to the use of multiple training venues between the club teams.
(Ed: Crumbs, Get well soon everyone)

{Updated Friday 17/02}
We have just had notification from Woking Blackhawks that due to players' injuries Sunday's clash will need to be postponed. Kings know Blackhawks wouldn’t be asking for the re-arrangement unless it was absolutely necessary and we wish the players affected the very best in their recovery.
Working with the Blackhawks this match has been rescheduled to be played on Saturday 22nd April
Saturday's BWB National League Division Three game between Hereward Heat and Thames Valley Kings III is unaffected by this postponement.

Results from Yesterday's action-packed day of Junior League!
Some wicked baskets, hard work, and grit are shown by all the young combatants as another leg on the road to elite 8s is completed.
Unfortunately, Kings forfeited the second game in junior league against the Titans.
It was clear after the first game that two of our young players were struggling, rather than risking injury to these young players we took the decision on safeguarding grounds.
