Local disabled youngsters and their able-bodied team mates have been successful Runners Up in the under 15s competition at the Regional Wheelchair Basketball Junior Championships at Stoke Mandeville over the weekend of 30th – 31st October, with teams competing from England Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The tournament is a focal part of the Great Britain Wheelchair Basketball Association (GBWBA) junior programme, promoting wheelchair basketball to the under 19’s.  | | Peter Rix gives the team-talk |
Ten local juniors, seven from the Bury St Edmunds based Bury Bombers (George Collins, Aiden Hughes, James Newton, Jack Perry, Adam Redfern, Alex Redfern and Richard Trumpess) and three from Cambridgeshire's Hereward Heat (William Hipwell, Robert West and Henry White) played, making up the Eastern Region team. They fought fiercely in the final on Sunday morning, coming second with a very creditable score of 15-25 against the more powerful Yorkshire team.  | | The Eastern Region team |
