Sheffield Saints basketball overcome Killamarsh Arrows

After a slow start (well, it had been a long Christmas break) Sheffield Junior Saints U14s started 2015 as they finished 2014 and maintained their unbeaten run in the Northern league with a 36-92 victory away at Killamarsh Arrows.

The donuts were never in real danger this weekend as too many points were squandered throughout the game.  But in a team performance that would have done credit to Saint Sebastian, Saints kept on plugging til the end.  The strength of their bench told as points were gained from all players.

Sheffield Saints host USA Select

The City of Sheffield Saints basketball team faced a tough pre-season challenge on Thursday 11th September when a USA Select Team were their visitors.
