The Brentwood-based Leopards are just one game away from clinching basketball's equivalent of the FA Cup.

The National Cup final is being staged at the Sheffied Arena on Sunday, January 7.

At the end of last season, Leopards Coach Bob Donewald told supporters that he would build a team that would bring silverware to the town. All that now stands in his way, ironically, is his old club the Leicester Riders.

The Leopards Supporters Club are running coaches to Sheffield for the big game.

Tickets for the final and coach travel can be booked via the Leopards Office on 01277 230231.
