🏐 Massive Weekend for Checkers!

The intensity is ramping up this weekend with some critical fixtures across the club as we look to defend our positions on the ladder.

It is set to be a huge day, headlined by our Prem Men’s top-of-the-table clash. Meanwhile, our Prem Women are facing a challenge with a few players unavailable, but they are focused and ready to maintain their spot at the top.

We also have some exciting inter-club matches on the cards which always bring out the best in our squads.

If you're heading down to Parakiore tomorrow, look for Court 7 or as we like to call it, Checkers HQ. It’s going to be a non-stop day of action with our teams playing back-to-back all day long.

Good luck to all our squads playing this weekend.🏁

Better a little late than never! Here are the results from last week’s round of games:

🏀 Premier Women: An absolute thriller in our clash against the other unbeaten side!
🏀 U23 Black: Huge performance from Finn Chatterton, who balled out for 51 points in our win over the LU Hornhorns!
🏀 U20 Red & St Bede’s: A wild coincidence with the scorelines—both our U20 Red team and our affiliate side, St Bede’s, secured identical 92–89 victories!

It was great to see our junior sides looking sharp and impressive back on the court after a couple of weeks off. Great work, everyone.

Note: We are currently working on a new format for our results reporting, so watch this space for some updates soon!
