Giants to host double-header this November

Manchester Giants will host an exciting double-header on Sunday 19 November, with the club's men and women both in action at the NBPC.

The Giants men's team will host British Basketball League leaders London Lions (3pm tip-off) before the women take centre stage against Sheffield Hatters (6pm tip-off), in what will be just their fourth match of the 2023/24 campaign.

The Giants Women also come into the fixture buoyed by a fantastic 86-56 home victory over Cardiff Met Archers in their previous outing.

Supporters can enjoy two games for the price of one, with plenty of exciting action to come across the day.

On top of that, there will also be a fun and challenging basketball skills development clinic taking place earlier in the day, delivered by the club's Giants Women players.

Open to boys and girls aged 8-13, admission to this exciting event costs £25 per person and includes lunch and entry to both Giants games - further details can be found below.
