POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
🦁 TOTAL DOMINANCE! CLUB RECORDS SMASHED! πŸ”₯

πŸ€ Monarchs 33–155 Norwich Lions

A record-breaking night for the Lions as we set TWO new club records! πŸ†

πŸ”₯ Biggest winning margin in club history!
πŸ”₯ Most points scored in a single game!

Not much to say about this one really! We faced a depleted Monarchs side, and although we weren’t at full strength ourselves, we had more than enough to get the job done!

Multiple players hit double figures, and if we had full stats, we’re pretty sure the assist numbers would’ve been through the roof too! πŸ‘€πŸ€

βœ… Away win secured. Onto the next one!

πŸ“… October 18th
πŸ†š Hoopstars
πŸ“ Away

That’s it. πŸ–€πŸ’›

🦁 TOUGH NIGHT FOR LIONS 3! πŸ€

πŸ€ King’s Lynn Wolfs 106–52 Norwich Lions 3

A tough league outing for Lions 3 as they fall to 1W–1L to start the season!

Wolfs, who will no doubt be fighting for the top spot this season, showed exactly why they’re one of the teams to beat! πŸ’ͺ

πŸ‘ Top scorers for Lions 3:
πŸ”₯ Haibo Li – 20 PTS
πŸ”₯ Delgar Ramos – 15 PTS

Plenty of work to do, but that’s what training is for! Lions 3 will look to regroup, learn from this one and come back stronger! πŸ–€πŸ’›

πŸ“… NEXT UP: October 18th
🏠 Lions 3 vs Beccles 2

Back on our home court, and we’ll need your support! 🦁

πŸ’¬ Can Lions 3 bounce back and get their second league win? πŸ‘€πŸ‘‡

πŸ† CUP RUN OVER FOR LIONS 2! 🦁

πŸ€ Norfolk Hoopstars 82–65 Norwich Lions 2

A tough start proved costly for Lions 2 as Hoopstars built a commanding lead in the first quarter!

But credit to the lads, who kept fighting and competed well over the remaining three quarters! πŸ’ͺπŸ”₯

πŸ‘ Some impressive performances from our new signings, with Mylo dropping 13 points and Max adding 11! Sam and Irmantas also chipped in with 10 points each!

πŸ† Lions 2 now move into the Plate competition, where we await our next opponent, while Hoopstars progress in the Cup and await their next challenge!

Plenty of positives to take away, but also lessons to learn. We keep building! πŸ–€πŸ’›

πŸ’¬ Who impressed you the most? Let us know below! πŸ‘‡

Meet David Wood!

Who can say they have a 6ft9 club manager?
An injury-prone giant but we’re hoping to have Dave back fully fit next season!

An absolute legend at the club – on and off the court – and someone who does so much to keep the club together.

Get to know him a little bit better below!

βΈ»

How did you first get involved in basketball, and what keeps you coming back to the game?
I was in Year 7 at Notre Dame High School, and my form tutor ran the school basketball team πŸ€. He got me involved, and I’ve never looked back πŸ”™. What keeps me coming back is the love of the game and the people I’ve met through it ❀️‍πŸ”₯.

βΈ»

What’s your favourite position to play and why?
Centre is my role 🧱. I love helping teammates by drawing defenders in and creating chances for others 🀝. But I really enjoy help defence – giving teammates the confidence to step up, knowing I’ll back them up πŸ›‘οΈ.

βΈ»

Can you share a memorable moment from a game or practice that made you proud?
The 2021/22 cup final πŸ†. After years at the club – being Norfolk’s lowest-ranked team, losing three finals, finishing second – winning the league and cup double felt amazing πŸ₯‡. Surviving Covid made it even more special πŸ’ͺ.

βΈ»

How do you balance basketball with other aspects of your life?
With great difficulty πŸ˜…. Some jobs are easier than others, but as long as I can play, I’m happy 🧠. If work gets in the way, it’s not the right job ❌. Life is short – and your body’s window to play is even shorter ⏳.

βΈ»

What’s one skill you’re working on improving?
While injured, I’m focusing on getting fit and strong again πŸ‹οΈ. Once I’m back, I want to improve finishing around the basket – put-backs and close-range shots πŸ€. Not flashy, but they win games βœ….

βΈ»

We can’t wait to see Big Dave back on the court!

As always thanks to @rylanmyhill for all the captures even of those that have been on the sidelines! 

Drop a comment to show him some love! Let’s go Dave!
