Once more unto the breach.....

The basketball team I play for, the Brighton Spares, take to the court for their third ever game on Friday night.

The Spares are made up of a group of fans of the Brighton Bears, and we've had a fairly leisurely run-around every Sunday for the last few years without taking ourselves particularly seriously.

Recently though we've decided to make the step up to play in a local league, and so far have had our butts well and truly kicked! It will be interesting to see what Friday holds - a loss of less than 20 points would be a step in the right direction!

Personally I'm looking to improve on my average score of 6.5 points, and to try and keep my legs and lungs working for the whole game - my fitness level is maybe not what it should be!
