Leeds Tigers Basketball Club – It’s what we do…
Dear Leeds Tigers members.
Welcome to the 3rd
edition of the Leeds Tigers Basketball newsletter.
Read about D4’s exciting promotion bid, Leeds League’s dominance in
their games and the highs and lows of the Under 16’s season. Plus all the
other news from the club.
Happy reading! – Isaac Dorgan (U16), The Editor
Directors Update
The first meeting of the year for the Directors involved a discussion on getting
funding for the club and how we are anticipating to grow as a club. With Carnegie
going BBL, we know how important it is to work even harder to keep new members
coming. Claude has established a Central Venue League for high schools and
primary schools across Leeds where the winners will compete for a champion’s
trophy at DYCA.
The second meeting of 2014 was about how to develop a coaching program for
coaches. We want to see a structured transition for players when they progress to
senior positions within the club. We want to develop strength and conditioning
programs in the summer for the U16s to prepare for U18s next season.

Harrogate V Leeds
Tigers
Win - 70-64
Tigers travelled to
Harrogate for a fierce
head to head. A win
against Harrogate would
put them in the perfect
spot to finish the season at
the top of the league.
With this in mind Tigers
went out with something
to prove and Harrogate
put up a big fight but in
the end Tigers won.

Leeds Lithuanians v
Leeds Tigers
Win 54-49
Tigers travelled away to
the Lithuanians with 10
players and struggled
throughout. They won the
game through tough
defence from Lwasi
Ndlovu and Neil
Hennigan to seal the win.
However throughout the
game the points weren’t
dropping.
Leeds Tigers V Bradford Lithuanians Handicap
Cup (second round)
Win - 101-84
Tigers entered this game expecting a tough match as
the Bradford Lithuanians team are 3rd place in the
division above, although they had the comfort
knowing that Tigers get 1 point extra for each basket.
The Lithuanians put up a great fight.
Tigers struggled in the first quarter to get used to the
new intensity and let the Lithuanians get a 10 point
start. But Coach Cleeve called a timeout, rallied the
troops and Tigers brought the game back with the help
of the 1 point per basket advantage. Tigers had a 25
point lead on the Lithuanians in the 3rd quarter. But
the Lithuanians fought back but to no avail as they
couldn’t make a scratch on Tigers with the handicap in
place. Delight Mukaro led the team in scoring with
his three point shooting display getting 17 points.
Leeds Tigers V
Horsforth hustlers
Win - 68-54
This was a comfortable
win for Tigers against
bottom of the table
Hustlers with a great
performance by Jacob
Smith.
Leeds Tigers V Bradford
Maroons Handicap Cup
(Quarter Final)
Win - 84-82 This was Leeds Tigers toughest game of the
season against Maroons who are undefeated in their lower division.
Because of this, Maroons got one extra point per basket. Tigers brought out their strongest side to play Maroons and with Maroon’s advantage, they kept the game tight throughout. It came down to the wire in the 4th quarter with Maroons hitting free throws to tie the game with 33 seconds. Delight Mukaro timed his offence with a 2 man game with Lwazi Ndlovu's shot missing, but Jonathan Broodie picked up the rebound and scored to put Tigers up by 2 points with only a few seconds to spare. Maroons failed to score.
MVP Lwazi Ndlovu 20 points 13 rebounds and Jonathan Broodie 18 points and the game winner

Rotherham Hawks v Leeds
Tigers
Tigers returned from the
Christmas break with an away trip
to Rotherham. This side was in
the mid-table position so a close
game was expected. Tigers
fought hard to compete with
Hawks and trailed 15-12 at the
end of the first and 35 - 28 at half
time. The second half saw a
disappointing performance and the
Tigers lost 73 - 50 as only 11
points were scored at the end of
the third and fourth quarters.
January
Leeds Tigers v Gateshead Phoenix. With a hat-trick of
defeats, Tigers had ended
any chance of play-offs.
Confidence needed to be
restored, however, their next
opponents were second
placed Phoenix, who had
inflicted Tigers' first defeat
of the season. Tigers played
a tough defence but failed to
convert their chances and
trailed 17 - 22 at the end of
the half. However the
second half saw a strong and
determined Tigers
performance, with Robbie
Cumming getting 2 three-
pointers and top scored with

Leeds Tigers v Bradford
Dragons
This was expected to be a
tough game for Tigers as
they faced the in-form
second placed Dragons. The
first quarter ended with a 17
point lead for the Dragons
and by the end of the 1st
half, the game looked like it
was over with Dragons
taking an 18 - 44 lead.
Jamal Gatewood lead a
revival with one three
pointer as he lead the scoring
with 14 points. However his
performance was marred by
travelling and losing the ball
resulting in 9 turnovers.
Tigers took the 3rd quarter
13 - 08. Eventually Dragons
ended any hope of a
comeback, taking the game
49 - 83.
York Eagles v Leeds Tigers
A very poor start in the first
quarter meant that the Tigers
were chasing the game
throughout. The first quarter
saw Tigers score only 3
points. But the second
quarter
21 points. Tigers doubled
Phoenix's points in the third
and won the game 57 - 48.
U15 player Max Ngoji got 7
rebounds and Dennis
Amofah achieved 5 assists.
Bradford Dragons v Leeds
Tigers. Having suffered a
heavy defeat to Bradford,
Tigers faced them again to
try and restore some pride
against the league leaders.
Tigers fought hard in the
first half and kept it to within
8 points as they trailed 31 -
23. Unfortunately the third
quarter saw Dragons
dominate and dented any
chance of a comeback as
they won 71 - 54.
Hull Wasps v Leeds Tigers.
A few days rest and Tigers
were on the road again to
Hull. A high scoring first
quarter saw both sides not
defending well as the scores
remained close at the half -
33 - 35. But an impressive
offence and some neat and
tidy defending saw the
Tigers lead 43 - 56. Tigers
achieved another win against
Hull Wasps as the scores
ended 61 - 72.

ADVERTISE HERE!!!!
Claude has been working very hard to set up a
Central Venue League with schools across Leeds.
The idea is to have an Eastern and Western
Conference of Primary/High schools competing
against each other, after receiving 3 training
sessions delivered by our coaches/players. In a
round-robin style tournament, the top 2 teams in
each conference face each other at DYCA for the
title. This will be an opportunity for some of the
players to obtain a scholarship
