The Year 10, 11 and U19 Basketball are due to all be finished by 3 February. This is probably not a realistic target looking at the number of games still to be played. We have now moved the completion date back to 16 March to give schools more time to arrange their matches. This will mean that the finals may not be played at Plymouth Pavilions now as the original date for this was 12 February. Jay Marriott will discuss arrangements for the Finals with the top 2 teams on 16 March. All the details about the matches to be played, results and latest tables for all age groups can be found by clicking on the following link http://www.plymouthssp.co.uk/content/secondary-competitions/6159/basketball and opening the Excel folder 'Basketball Fixtures and Results' .Any problems/questions please contact Helen Smith on hsmith@asap.org.uk
