PBC beat London Korea 95 – 81 7 *NEWS*
Thank you to everyone who played last week in the game and the practice sessions. We had a great turnout and some great ball played.
I am very please to say that PBC won the Korean game 95 – 81 with the big damage being done in the fourth quarter when the leading lights blew a tiring Korean side away, I watched from the side lines and learned :o)
The game did throw up an interesting point that we now need to address. PBC is a growing success and since we started close on a year and a half ago we have helped literally 100’s of people to play.
As a result of that success and a growing roll call we now have a disparate set of reasons for why people play from just keeping fit to wanting to play at the highest league levels age and skill might allow! For this reason I need to start looking to grade games. People that sign up to games (and any session) need to have expectations of that session or game that we can try and meet. So here goes on our new game/session coding:
- Regular Tuesday session : Full court focused on zones defence. All will play an even part
- Regular Thursday session : Half court typically higher standard focused on man marking. All will play an even part
- ‘A’ grade games : Games where PBC will nominate a captain for the night who will call the subs. The focus will be on winning and if you having a bad game you will likely have less court time. This will be the senior PBC team and will be the one we look to get into a league
- ‘B’ grade games : Games were PBC will nominate a captain or I will run where the mandate is first and foremost to ensure that all listed play as even a part as possible. We want to win but this level is basketball for all and not just our superstars.
- Panthers games : These are managed and run by Simon Hester and are affiliated to PBC in that they use many PBC listed player. They are to a high standard and played to win. You should contact Simon for these.
So after all that we have again been challenged by Korea on Thursday. We will make this weeks an A grade game so please come along and win it again !!
