We are back shining the social media spotlight again and focusing on all things #BritishBasketball which has turned very wintry and Christmassy [is that really a word?] of late.

 

There was a case of Cardiff Met Archers getting in the festive mood of course.

“All I want for Christmas, is….” ?watch this space! @archersbasket is certainly in the holiday spirit! ????????#114 #113 #112

Even if winter caused the postponement of their game against Riders.

Maybe it was just a coincidence, Leicester were also going all guns blazing with the Christmas themes [extra and unexpected planning time?]

Awesome Team Christmas meal with @riderswomen #WBBL #OneTeam #Christmas #SecretSanta

Coach Patel has had good reasons to celebrate of late.

Meanwhile the Christmas party for Hatters is already in the books….

What an amazing night yesterday! So good to see all the Hatters team enjoying the Christmas dinner together #hattersfamily

Rheanne Bailey showed out last weekend against Caledonia Pride to take Manchester to a dramatic overtime win.

While Pride lost against Mystics and then Hatters, there were some big positives and not least from Sarah Thomson who was on fire for the Scottish side!

Siobhan Prior was inspired at the WBBL meeting earlier this week!

Looking towards a positive future for girls in basketball at the @WBBLofficial meeting today. Have LOVED working with Kausar Sacranie this far! #MakeADifference #ThisGirlCan #MuslimGirlsCan #BritishBasketball pic.twitter.com/Pi3avlIGp5

You can listen to Siobhan on Friday night when she is back on the BBC commentating alongside Dan Routledge. The big question is whether the BBC can just mic her up on the floor when Wildcats feature at Lions on the 22nd!
