NO MORE BALLING

The scheduled British Basketball season comes to an end this weekend, ahead of the play-offs and finals at the NIA in Birmingham next month.

We've enjoyed out first year covering the Essex Pirates inaugural campaign at Southend Leisure & Tennis Centre.

Tim Lewis' side completed their final home game of the season with an 108-86 defeat against the Everton Tigers on Saturday evening and we were there to capture the action.

And so to round-up a season of action we're showcasing some of our images in this blog post.

We hope you enjoy them as we'll be back for the start of the new season with even more basketball action.
