And so it is that I continue my first basketball weekend of the 2012/13 season. Today I am on my way to Leeds Carnegie as they entertain Westminister Warriors in Game 1 of a big weekend for the Yorkshire lads.

Well is's been about three weeks since the start of the new Basketball season and this was my first opportunity to get to a game and then get back to work calling some games.
