BCB League | Aldermore Reading Rockets vs Hemel Storm

Aldermore Reading Rockets take on Hemel Storm at Loddon Valley Leisure Centre on Saturday 7 November, as part of the BCB League. It's a home game for the Rockets, who'll be playing out of the centre in Lower Earley, so if you're around Reading that weekend, it's an easy one to get to.

The Rockets are one of the town's leading basketball clubs and play at the top end of the National Basketball League. They're not just about the senior games, though — the club runs grassroots programmes and brings homegrown talent right through to the elite senior teams. They describe sport as a way to unite communities and empower young people, and that's a good part of what they do beyond the league table.

Tickets are sold through Eventbrite, the club's official ticketing partner, and match-day tickets may be available at the venue on the night. General admission starts from £7.85. Tip-off is at 7:30 PM, with the game running until 9:30 PM, so you've got a full evening of basketball to settle into. The venue is Loddon Valley Leisure Centre, Rushey Way, Lower Earley, Earley, Reading RG6 4GD.
