BIG Storage Cheshire Jets’ youngsters travelled to RAF Cosford in Shropshire to do battle in the national play-offs.

The Jets’ under 16 boys took on Manchester Magic in the first round of ‘Final Fours’ weekend. They lost out to their North West rivals 57-83.

Next up came a close-scoring match against the City of Birmingham.

But again the Jets just came up short as they were narrowly beaten 82-78.

In the U14s girls Final Fours the Jets girls also appeared.

Following great wins in the play-off heats against Northampton and London, the Jets pushed hard but fared no better than their male counterparts.

Strong performances from M Johnston, skipper L Wilson, L Deponeo and S Reddy were supported by R Breen, R Cooke, A Lord and C Perry but the Jets still finished fourth.

The Jets were the best supported team in the finals and they are looking to recruit players to add to their talent pool. Anyone looking to join the club and improve their game can call Phil Wilson on 07801 775966.
