The BBL fixture list for the 2013/2014 season has been announced!

The Worcester Wolves will be keen to kick start their season with a victory, making the journey down to Surrey to play the Heat in the first game of the season on Saturday 28 September. Following this game, the Wolves return home to host Jelson Homes DMU Leicester Riders for the first official game in the new Worcester Arena.

Remaining October Fixtures
At London Lions – 10th October
Cheshire Phoenix at home – 11th October
Manchester Giants at home – 18th October (BBL Cup)
At Birmingham Knights – 20th October
At Newcastle Eagles – 25th October

The BBL Cup will see Worcester Wolves host Manchester Giants, and represents the first chance of the 2013/2014 campaign to earn some silverware. Last season the Giants got knocked out of the BBL Cup by Glasgow Rocks, with the Wolves failing to get past the Newcastle Eagles in the quarter-finals. Both the Wolves and the Giants met three times last season, with the Wolves victorious twice, with wins of 92-80 and 88-75. Manchester won the final encounter 82-91, and again this contest is sure to be a close battle on court to progress to the next round.

London Lions welcome the Wolves in the first round of the BBL Trophy, which takes place Thursday 16 January 2014. In last year’s regular season, the two matched up twice, both sharing victories on home court. Three places separated these two teams in the BBL Championship last season, andthis again looks like being a close contest. The race for the title is on!
