December 7, 2009

Midnight Madness Nottingham didn’t disappoint. In the Under 18′s, Tom Pereira showed why he is considered by many the best shooter in the country in his age group, finishing shots from way beyond the 3 point line and being able to score with a hand in his face.

November 28, 2009

I know people who have spoken to me about Midnight Madness Leeds, know that there is only ever one person in the Under 18′s I talk about and that is Mark ‘The Best Kept Secret’ Rangeley.

The Newcastle qualifier was the 3rd event in Midnight Madness’s Summer itinerary (after Midnight Madness Portsmouth and Midnight Madness Milton Keynes).
