Gloucester City Basketball are delighted to announce the return of the Grainger Cup that will take place on the 30th April at Oxstalls Sports Park.
This year it's the men's turn as an All-Star type event will take place seeing Team Gloucester take on Team Bristol in honour and celebration of local Chairman, Joe Grainger who sadly passed away in 2020.
A unique and widely loved member of the basketball community, leading the initial conversation around seeing professional basketball brought to the county. Our ethos of inclusivity was a core value in Joe's beliefs as a chairman, coach and person. Our wish is for all who join us as a club to remember his valued work and contribution to the foundations of Gloucester City Basketball.
The event has lofty expectations to be the biggest basketball event that's been held in the county with not only the game to enjoy but cheerleaders, MC, DJ, giveaways, food, drink and we are delighted Always Ballin will be supporting us with merchandise.
Classic Morrow Ballers Club will be putting together Team Bristol, the basketball division of the clothing brand Classic Morrow. Their goals is to cultivate a competitive basketball community in Bristol and create a collective of ballers through a range of events.
The event will be raising money for the Hollie Gazzard Trust, created following the murder of 20-year-old Hollie Gazzard in 2014 by an ex-partner. Set up by parents Nick and Mandy, along with sister Chloe, the charity helps reduce domestic violence through creating and delivering programmes on domestic abuse and promoting healthy relationships to schools and colleges.
The ultimate aim of the Trust is to positively change the lives of young people through partnerships in communities, as well as working alongside other charities and professional agencies.
Keep your eyes peeled for player announcements and giveaways to the event. Tickets are available to BUY NOW!
