First Teams

Bristol Hurricanes are the visitors on Sunday at 5pm in the last-16 of the National Cup. With a quarterfinal place up for grabs you won’t want to miss out on any of the action!
Both home game nights this weekend are sponsored by McArthur Glen Designer Outlet West Midlands.
Rockets women are on the road to face Liverpool in a 5pm tip as Coach Allen’s team look to build on their dominant 90-55 win at Plymouth last time out.
The team face another away game at Cardiff City on Saturday 7th December before returning to Nechells against Cardiff Met Archers as part of a doubleheader evening on Saturday 14th December.
Junior Performance Programme
There are three games across our junior performance programme with two league outings and one cup tie across the weekend.
Under 14 Boys
Rockets Under 14 Boys will be looking to return to winning ways tomorrow as they host Manchester Giants Blue.
Rockets are 4-4 in a tight Northern Premier Division and the team will fancy their chances against the 3-5 Manchester Giants Blue.
Our visitors won their last outing against the winless Manchester Storm but have otherwise struggled for form in recent weeks.
Under 16 Girls
Rockets Under 16 Girls face the 3-2 Nottingham Wildcats tomorrow afternoon at Nechells Wellbeing Centre in their latest Northern Premier Division outing.
Coach Clark’s team can take confidence from their last two outings; back-to-back wins against Bristol Flyers and Lancashire Spinners.
The team ramped up their preparations with a run-out against Rockets Women at last night’s training session and will be looking to continue their fantastic recent form on home court!
Under 16 Boys
Focus switches to the National Cup on Sunday with our Under 16 Boys in action as they look to progress to the next round.
The team travel to Milton Keynes to take on the 7-1 Breakers in what is sure to be a challenging assignment; but the team can take confidence from their cup form.
