at the community park arena. new teritory for davis. 

british basketball action between the sheffield sharks and the calidonian gladiators. 

4th vs 5th in the fledgling league table with 6 games being played. 

the sharkes formed in 1991 are the 2nd most successful Bbl team behind the newcastle eagles and their golden period was during the late 90s, early 2000s. 

their opponents were formed in 1998 as edinburgh  but controversially their franchise was bought by an american who moved them  to glasgow, and they have had several name changes over the years. this is the sharks permanent home and only their 2nd game here, with a 2500 capacity sell out for last week's 1st home game at their new home.


yesterday's   full-time from the community Park Arena. And a 96 points to 78 win for the Sheffield Sharks over the Caledonian gladiators.

The sharks were always ahead  in this one, and the closest the gladiators got to them was within about 10 points midway through the second quarter. For 10 minute quarters, and literally an end to end game throughout, as seems to be the way with basketball. Very enjoyable, good atmosphere and will definitely go again. Crowd approximately 1300.

The sharks move up to 3rd, with four wins, and three defeats anfrom  seven games, although they are still six points behind the run away  leaders, the London lions  who have a perfect seven winds from seven.
