ITV Central-East did a 30 second report on the game with footage http://www.itv.com/central-east/fullprogramme/ that’s Birmingham’s local ITV news. Get onto ITV Granada and ask them to promote the games in Liverpool, they probably don’t know they’re on. Some contacts for you:

Thinking the same as you sam. Whats with that, fair enough if they had just won their first game you might not expect an article but 4 games in a row unbeaten. GB is on fire but they get no credit! There should be a big picture of a dunk or something on the back page after 4 games unbeaten. It’s shocking really.

Big up SAM!!! Go for it and challenge the papers! In the sports section for the BBC news website GB Basketball (both mens and womens) results are mentioned and they have features and videos. However, in the sports section Basketball is under ‘other’ section!
