The Youngblood’s Girls had a fantastic double game weekend to close out the regular
season with to resounding wins 96-60 and 108-51 against County Upper and Southend
Swifts respectively.

With a playoff berth already established, The club knew that two wins out two games
would put the girls in the top spot in the East division and a higher seed in the
playoffs. The team is a young team, but what we lack in years we make up for with
the will to be the best that we can be. Showing that These Girls Can!

‘We all experience times of adversity in our lifetime’ said Head Coach Caroline 
Charles. And the Youngblood’s Basketball players sampled some of that adversity 
with nowhere to train for the 2017-18 pre-season and with no preseason, nowhere 
for new players to come. We started off with 8 teams, but had to start the season
with 5 as we had nowhere to train. Thankfully in September, St Bonaventure’s gave
us the use of their sports hall. We had 2 weeks to get our players and teams ready.
The Under 14 Girls and the Under 14 Premier Boys have managed to finish as the top
teams for their age groups in the country and have advanced to the playoffs. As 
the saying goes, what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger.

Playoff action is scheduled to begin in April. Continue to check our website and
