This weekend sees the Club's under 16 and under 18 Division 1 teams head south to take on Newcastle Eagles and Leeds Force in 2 days of preseason warm up games. We are delighted to have such prestigious opposition and we are indebted to Craig Nicol for all his hard work in setting up the tour. As you can imagine, taking 4 teams away is no small feat of organisation!
With an early start on Saturday morning the players will head to Newcastle first to the Westgate Centre of Sport to take on the Newcastle Eagles under 16 and 18 teams. After the games the teams will head to Northumbria University halls of residence where they are staying for the night. On Sunday, the teams will be heading to Leeds University where they will face Leeds Force (the rebranded Leeds Carnegie) before heading back to Edinburgh.
The players have been fundraising to cover the costs of the trip so please help them out by buying one of their basketball cards! The full schedule is below :
