Helping Flyers hit new heights

-

A BRISTOL law firm is helping Bristol Flyers Women’s basketball team reach new heights.

Commercial law firm Meade King has agreed to be the team’s main kit sponsor as part of the firm’s drive to support women’s and grassroots sport in the city.

Establishe­d in the 2015/16 season, Bristol Flyers Women have quickly become one of the leading female basketball teams in the South West.

They compete in England’s National League Division 1 and play their games at the SGS Wise Arena. Under the guidance of exFlyers men’s captain Gareth Till, Flyers women have been a competitiv­e force in their first few seasons back in national league basketball, reaching the play-offs twice.

Gareth said: “We are really excited Meade King has agreed to sponsor the women’s team and help put women’s sport on the map. We are a self-supporting team with big ambitions so any help we receive from local businesses is very much appreciate­d.” » Bristol Flyers is looking to recruit more girls to join its under 10s, 12s, 14s and under 16s teams.
