Haris Memorial Tournament 2013 Schedule & Lineup Announced

Haris Memorial Tournament 2011 Manchester

The Haris Memorial Tournament returns to the Amaechi Basketball Centre over this Christmas period, in its eighth year to commemorate former Manchester Magic player Haris Charalambous who passed away in 2006.

Featuring eight teams from across Europe, it is one of the few international tournaments that occurs in the British basketball calendar.

“This is the 8th annual Haris Memorial Tournament,” said Manchester Magic’s Joe Forber. “The first year was 2006, just after Haris tragically died at a training session at the University of Toledo. We have had some high quality European teams, Blair Academy from the USA and Gran Canaria Academy in the past, in addition to National teams from England and Scotland.

“The line-up this year is on a par with anything we have had in the past and there looks to be a tremendous competition to come. Manchester Magic have been fortunate enough to reach 4 final games but have yet to pick up the Trophy! Perhaps this year will be different.”

Entry costs £3 (Thurs), £4 (Fri), £5 (Sat) or £8 for all three days if bought in advance, with all proceeds going to a good cause.

“It is the major basketball holiday attraction and all proceeds at the gate go to the Haris Memorial Fund which supports youngsters, at all levels, who may need extra finance to continue their participation in the game,” concluded Forber.
