⚽🏀🥇 Those of you who attended our Leicester, 5-a-side tournament on March 17th this year, were greeted by our special guest, Jamell Anderson, a Nottingham native who starred for the Leicester Riders, amongst other teams during his professional basketball career.

🤞 We wished him well on his journey towards the commonwealth games, which seemed some way off at the time. Fast-forward to last night, 7.30pm, when Jamell and his teammates entered the arena in Glasgow to compete for gold in the 3 x 3 basketball final against Australia.

🏆In a frantic final, Jamell's tenacity and leadership, willed his group to overcome an early Australian lead, taking a dramatic win, 19 - 17 and an unprecedented 2nd consecutive, commonwealth gold for Jamell.

Huge congratulations to Jamell, his family, teammates and the England team, on such a huge achievement!

⚽ Fan or not, there’s no doubt that football chatter will dominate offices in the run up to Wednesday’s Semi-Final and if England are successful, the rest of the week, before Sunday’s final. This article provides some context on England’s significant uptick in tournament form over the last 8 years and a reminder, to enjoy the times we are in:

A record of four semi-finals in the past five international tournaments for England is outstanding. It is time to accept that this is where England belong.
