Well the story of my departure from the Sharks continues. Thanks again for all your wonderful comments. These pages are a reflection of SOME on the comments I have received since my announcement. There is simply no way I could have included them all!


This is one of my favourite features on mikeshaft.com. At the start of each year we high-light a number of people to pay tribute to. These are usually individuals or teams from back in the day and others who are active in the sport today. This is the Master list of people who make Basketball ‘The Joy That It Is’.


No words required!


Well, we're a little bit late with this report but the weekend of Saturday 10th February 2024 was a very special one for me. It started at City of Leeds who were taking on Sheffield Elite in D3. Now as you can imagine I have seen a good few basketball games in my time and this was one of the best ever!


Sharks Players and Fans Enjoying Another Fabulous New Year's Eve Party!


For the final game before Christmas 2023, the Sheffield Sharks' faithful turned out for a massive game against Bristol Flyers! It was a joy to play a part of this very competitive and exciting ball game which went into Overtime! On this occasion the Sharks would hang on for a glorious victory! Onwards and Upwards!!!


It was another glorious double header at the Canon Medical Arena, Sheffield last Sunday [10 12 2023]. Unfortunately after a terrible first quarter by the home team, The Phoenix would refuse to lose this one despite the gallant efforts of the Sharks for the next 3 quarters.


Sunday the 27th of November 2023, saw a truly magnificent day's basketball action at the awesome, Canon Medical Arena, Sheffield. It was the 1st Double Header of the season which saw the Sharks taking on the Flyers in the BBL and the Hatters taking on Newcastle in the WBBL. It was a joyous day all round. YOU JUST HAD TO BE THERE! Some photos from the WBBL game!
