Now that we are into the summer break and before our attention turns to next season, we can now reveal the results of our supporters voted 2020-21 BBL and WBBL Player Awards.
The vote would normally take place in person at the arena during the final few home games of the season and the awards would then be presented at our supporters club end of season party, both of which were not possible due to Government COVID-19 restrictions.
It was a historic season for the club with both our BBL and WBBL teams making the May Madness finals and the men lifting both the BBL Cup and BBL Play-Offs titles silverware.
If you need a reminder of the action, highlights of games are available on our YouTube channel and all the game reports and photos are available to look back through here on our website.
The winners are as follows:
