Win Silver in The Lord’s Taverners National Junior League Finals
Held at the Jesse Boot Stadium in Nottingham on Saturday 26th April. 2008

The top 4 teams from the North and South junior leagues took part in the 'Finals' weekend. To get this far was a fantastic achievement as the Jaguars came 2nd in the North Divsion in 2007/2008 season winning 6 games against teams from Sheffield, Manchester, Leeds and only loosing 2 games against Northwich.

All of the Jaguars team of 12 played in the Quarter Final at 11.15am against Aspire Force from London - it was a superb victory with almost all of the team getting on the scoresheet.

The semi-final against Bury Bombers was a thrilling match after swapping basket for basket the Jaguars won with 10 seconds to go a real nail-biting encounter with the team and supporters shattered!

The Jaguars played the Final against a superb team from Northwich and despite some great play they were not able to breakdown a tight defense.

A truly wonderful day and everyone went home so very proud of the Silver medal presented by The Lord Taverners, Chairman of the GBWBA and members of the GB Mens Wheelchair Basketball Team.

Players come from Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Yorkshire and with over 50% coming from Lincolnshire.

The Jaguars are currently the biggest junior squad in the Country and things look good for next season with Northwich the winning team that beat us in the final losing four of their starting five.

All players played as a team and gave 100% what more can a coach want. Jags captain Richard Sargent 15yrs from Lincoln has been selected to play for the GB u23 squad at the end of the months. Here's hoping some of the players reach the 2012 paralympics!!!
