There will be a new name on the BBL Cup this year, with 2018 runners-up Worcester Wolves taking on first-time finalists Bristol Flyers at the Birmingham Arena.

Bristol beat London Lions in their two-legged semi-final, edging their opponents out 84-82 in the away leg before easing to a 91-77 win on home turf back in December. Watch out for Fred Thomas, who has picked up an impressive 108 points in six BBL matches before this weekend.

Worcester Wolves, meanwhile, had to come from behind against two-time BBL Cup winners Leicester Riders after going down 66-63 at home in the first leg – which they did in impressive fashion with an 83-71 victory at the Morningside Arena.

Last year’s beaten finalists Sevenoaks Suns are back in the final for the fourth edition of the WBBL Cup and will come in as favourites having started the weekend in second place in the league – a competition they have won for the past two seasons.

The Suns came through their semi-final thanks to a 63-58 win over Newcastle Eagles, while Durham Palatinates booked their place in Birmingham by beating holders Sheffield Hatters 79-72 at All Saints High School.

The Suns lost by just two points in last year’s final and managed to win their league fixture against Durham 87-74 just last Saturday – but can the Palatinates spring an upset and take home their first major trophy?

Basketball can be played by people of any age, size or ability and with thousands of outdoor courts across the country - where you can play for free - there's plenty of places to practice if you don't fancy competing with a team.

Basketball is a fun, fast and stamina-building sport with players burning up to 600 calories an hour.

With clubs across the country, it's a great way to meet new people and develop teamwork and communication skills and many clubs offer a variety of social events away from the court.
