June 2024 saw the inaugural WightFibre 5v5 League, this marked the return of Adult competitive 5v5 basketball on the Isle of Wight after a lay off of at least 10 years (I think…). Made up of 6 teams; Diamond Isle Panthers, I.O.W Black Arrows, Vectis Romans, Wiht-land Vikings, Wight Eagles, and White Rock Polar Bears.
The first run through of the League was completed 25th July 2024 with an aim to restart in October for the first full “Season” after a well earned summer break.
We would like to say a big thank you to WightFibre for sponsoring the league, providing all 6 teams with full kits, NDP Groundcare for sponsoring the referees uniforms and PC Consultants for providing warm-up & game balls.
