PLANS are in hand to try to build on the success of Fulford School Under-16s basketball team.

They reached the English Schools' National 'B' competition final at Nottingham recently and, to help the boys' progress, a Fulford men's team is to play in the Leeds Men's Basketball League next year.

The problem is that the boys don't have a full-size court to play on. They have to do all their training and preparation on a non-regulation size court in school and play all their games away from home.

What they need for the future is funds or sponsorship to cover the cost of the weekly hire of a sports hall.

Anyone able to help should contact Tim Morris at Fulford School tel 01904 633300.

The Fulford boys raised money to buy their own new kit for their successful season which saw them win all 17 of their games up to the national final at Nottingham. They fell at the last, beaten 66-44 by Feltham Community College, Middlesex.
