A new basketball team have formed in Maldon.
The side, christened Maldon Predators, are thought to be the first in the town's history.

Organiser Byron Pinn began trying to put the fledgling outfit together late last year when he realised there was no existing team for him to join.
He started holding practice sessions with his friends at the Blackwater Leisure Centre, where he works, and soon other admirers of basketball legends such as Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson started turning up to join in.
Budding wizards of the dribble who think they stand a chance of slam-dunking their way into the starting line-up are invited either to turn up and join in with a training session or call Mr Pinn on 01621 855159 for more details
