12:01pm Friday 18th March 2011 in TADEA Middlesbrough Lions
National League Basketball sponsored by TADEA; Sustainable Energy Solutions & Heaven Scent; Yankee Candles Middlesbrough
Some great passing from Lions duo James Thomson and Ben Thompson led to some great plays by Middlesbrough last week against Newcastle Eagles and the club are keen to see this continue to aid their transitional strengths and hopefully gain a few more wins before the season ends. Middlesbrough face some tough tests in the coming weeks with away games to Burnley, Cheshire & Huddersfield. Both Burnley and Huddersfield are chasing the championship title while Cheshire boast a number of excellent players including a couple from their BBL side.
Middlesbrough though must not dwell on the opposition but focus on their own strengths and when in free flow they are capable of beating any side in the league. Lions star Tom Robinson heaped praise on the Thomson's after the Newcastle game "We have such an unselfish team and James and Ben are the epitome of this. They look up immediately and that is a big benefit to the likes of myself, John and DaWaun."
Lions will be hoping to match the last result of a three game weekend in early February with another three wins this weekend.
