Crusaders and Coca Cola Team Up for Last Home Game

Coventry Crusaders will be playing their last regular season home game today at the Coventry Sports Centre, sponsored by Coca Cola Enterprises Ltd. 

They will be facing College of West Anglia Fury, who were known last season as Kings Lynn Fury.  The Fury is facing a win-less season so far.

With only a handful of games left, Crusaders are needing to secure another win or two before their chances of a playoff slot can be secured, so it is a crucial game for both teams.

Earlier this season when the two sides met in Kings Lynn Crusaders managed to win 71-64.  American player Keith Sudler was injured early in the game and had to retire from the game.

Tonight Sudler may once again be sidelined from a later injury. His game fitness is yet to be determined. But with or without him, the Crusaders will need to pull out all their stops and procure a win.

Prior to the Division One game the Warwickshire Basketball Association will be hosting their annual All-Star Game beginning at 4:45 pm.  This is always a highly entertaining event, with a dunk contest, three-point shooting contest and plenty of high scoring action.

Tip off for the Coca Cola sponsored Division One Game is 7:30. Tickets for the game are available on the door for £6 Adults and £4 Concessions.  Admission to the All-Star game is free.
