Hi and welcome to the City of Sheffield Saints Basketball Club web site.

The Saints were formed in 2006, under the umbrella of The City of Sheffield Basketball Club ( this includes the Sheffield Hatters, who remain one of the most successful sporting teams in the country)

Saints finished runners up in the league in 2006-7(Division 4 North) and 2007-8 (Division 3 North) and lost in the play off finals in both years. Due to an increase in financial costs and travelling in Division 2, Saints have decided to remain in Division 3 this season.

The Coaching duo of Garnet Gayle and Pete Olusoga return, along with several other players with National League experience; we hope to attract new players who will be able to learn along side the more mature members of the squad.

Saints hope to continue their success of the previous 2 seasons, and are seeking sponsorship, either for one game, a player or for the team.

City of Sheffield Saints began the new year with a keenly contested game against fellow Yorkshire team Bradford Maroons, who are always hot to handle, unlike the snow and ice outside.
