Bristol Storm

The team currently play across multiple venues around the city due to the size of the club and lack of facilities in the area, but our home court is currently based out of St Mary Redcliffe and Temple School.

As additional strength former Backwell School players Nicola Gowing (University of Bath) and Ruth & Trish Groves (UWIC) came home to play for the Storm.

Not only have more players wanted to get involved, the direction of the club has become more performanced focus, looking to compete at the highest level possible in the United Kingdom across all age groups.

Game 1 almost started without Head Coach David Senart who had is his passport stolen from the airport in Barcelona so had to spend the morning of day 1 at the US Embassy, however with a bit of luck he turned up with under 5 minutes to go before the first tournament tip.

Game 2 was against a local Spanish side CB Palafolls that Storm won by over 30 points allowing good bench rotation.

One Spanish team never arrived so this saw Storm finish top of the group and hosted the first Semi-Final vs English Premiere side Surrey Rams.

Storm endeavour to make more international trips for all its age groups as they continue to push to be the best basketball club in the city.
