Youngsters to follow in national champions footsteps in Team Leicestershire Basketball

Team Leicestershire switches to the weekend for the first time this year as schools battle it out in the basketball finals.

Held at the Leicester Community Sports Arena, teams will follow in the footsteps of Leicester Riders, who recently sealed their spot as the dominant side in Britain thanks to their recent BBL Trophy final victory against Plymouth Raiders.

The venue was earlier this year held for another LRS event, although the nets weren't in too much use at the inaugural LRS Celebration Evening.

The finals will be split into three sections, with girls, boys and primary schools all having their turn to play for the trophies and medals. The full list of fixtures for Sunday's finals are:
