Pete Jaques Memorial All Star Game
Pete Jacques, 1943-2010
In tribute of the great, late Pete Jaques, the Durham Wilcats are holding a memorial All Star game next weekend. The game will take place on Saturday 17th July at the Doncaster Dome, featuring the Durham Wildcats V the Pawprint All Stars.
Doors open at 3pm and tip is at 4pm. Entrance is £4.00 for adults and £2.50 for children with all proceeds going to Cancer Research and RSPCA.
If you are free, make sure you head down there for what will not only be a great game, but a great tribute.
Pete Jaques was an integral part of the England basketball circuit, a statistic wizard, announcer and the man behind Pawprint 75 who passed away earlier this year.
Do you like our work?
We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.
We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.
We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.
If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.
We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
