This Sunday, Caledonia Gladiators’ men and women will compete against Oaklands Wolves and Bristol Flyers respectively in the sides’ return to league action following a month of Trophy fixtures. Both sides look to bounce back from their last games, losses to London, and regain momentum in front of a home PlaySport crowd.

Caledonia Gladiators vs Oaklands Wolves – Women’s British Basketball League – 12 PM.

Caledonia Gladiators welcome Oaklands Wolves to PlaySport at 12 PM in Women’s British Basketball League Championship action.

Gladiators are yet to match up with Wolves for the first time this season, making the game at PlaySport the first time the sides have met since the 22/23 campaign. In January, Oaklands travelled to Paisley, with Caledonia coming out 84-57 victors. Then, in March, Miguel Ortega’s side picked up a win on the road – 54-81, thanks to impressive performances from Abbie Wolf (26 PTS | 13 REB | 4 AST) and Chantelle Handy (19 PTS | 8 REB | 4 AST).

Currently, in the league table, Gladiators sit in 4th place with an impressive 5-1 record, having played two fewer games than #3 Hatters, and one less game than #2 Riders. Wolves, on the other hand, sit just within the playoff picture at 8th place, on a 3-5 record – equal to the Manchester Giants in 7th.

So far, domestically, Yevheniia Putra has been leading the way for the Scottish side, putting up a solid 12.2 PPG, 6.3 RPG, and 1.8 SPG against British competition – dominating on the inside. Oaklands’ star power has come from Caterrion Thompson, averaging an impressive 15.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in just under 30 minutes a night. The side from St. Albans also has four players averaging double-digits in scoring.

As the start to an epic double-gameday experience, the sides are set to battle it out in what’s looking like an exciting one – Gladiators hoping to make their way nearer the top of the table, and Wolves looking to lock in a Playoff spot by the end of the regular season.

Caledonia Gladiators vs Bristol Flyers – British Basketball League – 3 PM.

Caledonia Gladiators welcome Bristol Flyers to PlaySport at 12 PM in British Basketball League Championship action, in the second game of the day.

Gladiators and Flyers have matched up twice so far this season, once home and once away, making this the second time Bristol has landed in East Kilbride this campaign. In November, the Flyers picked up a huge 94-77 victory over the travelling Gladiators behind a huge 27-point performance from Trejon Jacob – Patrick Whelan led the Gladiators with 19. Later in the month, it was the home team who were victors once more, as Caledonia won a tense game 85-82, backed by 17 points apiece from Fahro Alihodzic and Lukas Palyza.

Currently, Gladiators sit in 2nd in the league (13-8) behind only London Lions (22-3), having played four fewer games than the Capital side. The Flyers sit in 6th, with a .500 record at 11-11 and played one more game than the sides above and below them. Both sides competed in European action this year, with the Scots impressing but being knocked out in their debut Europe Cup campaign with a 3-3 record, and the Flyers advancing to the ENBL Playoffs this month following an impressive campaign.

Patrick Whelan has been the star in domestic competition for Caledonia, averaging 15.1 PPG, followed shortly by Ian DuBose who is putting up 14.6 points a night. Flyers’ scoring has come from Tevin Olison and Trejon Jacob who are adding 14.6 and 14.2 points a night respectively.

The sides will be looking to get one over the Flyers, and take the advantage in the head-to-head going into the fourth and final game between the two.
