[01 FEB 08] CRUSADER NEWS                    

        Crusaders Host Sheffield Arrows  

Coventry Crusaders will be playing at the Coventry Sports Centre tomorrow evening (Saturday 2^nd). 

Crusaders who have enjoyed being at home the last two weekends, have definitely stepped up their game over the last few games and are looking for another win. 

They came close, losing to top-placed Manchester Magic last Saturday in front of a supportive crowd. In spite of a 17-point deficit they made a comeback that drew them to just within 6 points before the final buzzer. 

On Sunday they travelled to Kings Lynn for the “battle of the bottom”, being one place above College of West Anglia Fury, it was a Must Win situation for both teams. 

In spite of American player Keith Sudler being out of action after the first few minutes of the game due to a facial injury, Crusaders managed to hold their game intact and enjoyed their second win of the league season 71-64. 

Last time Crusaders met Sheffield they were at the wrong end of a 78-83 result. It will be interesting to see which team has made the most improvement over the course of the season, and whether or not the support at home will tip the win Crusaders way. 

Tickets are available on the door, Adults £6, Concessions £4. Tip-off is at 7:30 pm. It promises to be an exciting game!
