Bears in play

Last night we went to see
the Brighton Bears
play the Thames Valley Tigers.
This is the first basketball game we’ve been to. Before the game I
had a quick look at the rules so we had a chance of understanding the game. Glad
I did because otherwise we’d have no idea why there was a clock that counted down
from 24 seconds. Still don’t understand what is and isn’t a foul, but there’s
plenty of time to read-up on the rules over
at the British Basketball League web site.

The Bears won 88-63, and all the players were impressive, especially the captain.

It’s fast, entertaining, and I think we’ll go again. And the crowd turn out was impressive, too.
