News Highlights

Junior Training

Due to the recent government announcements, and West Yorkshire being placed into Tier 3, there will be no basketball training for the rest of the year.  

We will review this again after Christmas, when hopefully the current restrictions will be lifted. 

​We wish everyone a very Happy Christmas, and look forward to seeing you all in the new year.

New Mascot

Introducing the latest addition to the Dragons' team, Dunc (the) Dragon, our new club mascot.
 
Dunc branded merchandise will be available soon, and it is our plan to bring Dunc to life in the form of a game day mascot, also available for school visits with the club. 

​​However, to make this happen, there is a cost of around £1k to £1.5k, and we are therefore seeking an appropriate company/organisation/individual to become Dunc's official sponsor. 
If you know of anyone that would be interested in this sponsorship opportunity, please contact info@bradforddragons.co.uk. 

Many thanks to Martin Williamson (https://www.facebook.com/cobbybrook) for his artwork. Martin is an extremely talented artist and illustrator, so please do take a look at his work.

A second-straight league defeat for Dragons, who drop to 5-5 in NBL Division One.

Andre Arissol opened the games scoring with a three for the hosts. Jermayne Laing responded with a layup, but then the Dragons went on a six-and-half minute scoreless run.  :: READ MORE ::
