The Cockburn John Charles Academy Under-16 basketball team has kicked off their National Basketball League campaign in impressive fashion, securing convincing wins in their opening matches.
After narrowly missing out on the championship title last year, the team has been training relentlessly, determined to go one better this season. Their hard work and resilience are already paying off, as they display skill, teamwork, and determination on the court.
Headteacher, Mrs Roberts, praised the team’s efforts, saying,
“We’re incredibly proud of our U16 squad. Their dedication and team spirit embody the values of our school, and we can’t wait to see how far they’ll go this season.”
With momentum on their side, the U16s are setting their sights firmly on championship glory.
