About

History Of The Team

Nailsea Basketball compete in the West of England Men’s basketball league. They joined the league in 2006-07 in Division 3, and during their inaugural season they won 15 games and lost only 1, finishing top of their Division, winning the play-offs, and earning themselves some lovely silverware together with a promotion to Division 2. In 2007-08, Nailsea finished second place in Division 2 with a record of 10 wins and 4 losses, but went on to win the play-offs to secure the championship title for the second year in a row, and a subsequent promotion to Division 1.

In 0809 Nailsea entered two teams into the WEBBA leagues due to the ever-growing size of the club and an influx of new players. The 1st team entered Division 1, and the newly formed 2nd team entered Division 3. Both teams finished mid table and showed some solid improvements throughout the year, especially considering the challenges they faced entering these divisions.

More recently in the 0910 season the club has again remained as two teams. The 1st team finished with a record of 10 - 10 in Division 1, closing out the season with an excellent win against the league winners, The Cavs, winning 70 -56. The 2nd team finished mid table in Division 3 with a record of 8 - 12.

In 1011 the Nailsea 1st team re-located to Winterbourne and Nailsea remained as a single team in Division 3. We have had an influx of new players and a change in the structure of the team during this last year and so the final results were 3 - 13. Although the record is not as positive as it has been the team continues to develop and find its feet heading into the 1112 season.
