Sunday January 29th , 2006.
The Aylesford Junior tournament which took place at the Bridge Sports Centre on Sunday January 29th was won by the Fyffes Fast Break Basketball Club who completed the day with an unbeaten record.
Host club Warwick Juniors entered three teams, a combined Fyffes Coventry and Stratford team plus the Fyffes Fast Break team.
The combined team was made up of Joe Wood, Ryan Southgate, Toby Richards, Chris Hagger, Tanvir Shah and Danny Randhawa.
A very competitive day which is reflected in the scores saw the Fyffes Fast Break Basketball Club come out on top with four victories over Warwick B 12 - 10, the combined Coventry and Stratford team 22 – 17, Warwick A 12 – 9 and the last but most vital win coming against the previously unbeaten Warwick C 12 - 11.
Despite desperate attempts from the Warwick team, Fyffes Fast Break just held out to complete the day.
The winning Fyffes Fast Break team was made up of Michael Kearsley, Tom Willis, Aman Heer, Alex Banfield and Matthew Collinge.
Special thanks go to John Mumford, the tournament organiser, referees, John Mumford and Garry Kearsley with Sue Linnett keeping score throughout the day.

FYFFES BANANAS TOURNAMENT FINALS REPORT
The third and final Fyffes Bananas sponsored Primary Schools Basketball tournament has taken place with a thrilling finale to decide the eventual winners for 2005 / 2006. Going into the final tournament, Allesley Primary School were in pole position with a group of four other schools all still within a chance of lifting the Fyffes Basketball Cup. After the Pool games, Allesley, Christ The King, Holy Family and Whitmore Park had all earned semi final spots.
This is when the real drama started to unfold with three of the semi finalists still in contention to win overall.
Christ The King defeated Allesley in semi final number one with Holy Family defeating Whitmore Park to book the other final spot.
With the final teams set there was still the possibility that Allesley could still win the trophy outright even without qualifying for the final because of the points that they had accumulated in previous tournaments. But is was not to be as Whitmore Park defeated Allesley by a solitary basket in the third and fourth place play off game.

SUBWAY BASKETBALL LEAGUE
This season we have been running a League in the middle coaching group on a Saturday which has met with a level of success.
The League which is sponsored by SUBWAY was set up to provide regular, organised competitive basketball for the players in this age group. We have had three teams all with a coach, a short practice session is held with the coach each week and then we play two games against each other with the scores kept with a league table. Currently leading the standings is the team coached by Coach Pleming who are being hotly pursued by Coach Kearsley’s team with Coach Paplauskas and his team in third place.
Some very close, competitive games have ensued over the weeks which reflect in the league standings.
