ROSS MACKENZIE
PLYMOUTH RAIDERS DIRECTOR
Well, it’s great to be back! It isn’t life as we
know it, it isn’t even basketball as we know
it, but we’re back and for that alone, we’re
thankful to BE, the BBL and the Department
for Culture Media and Sport for their support
and for enabling Elite basketball in the UK to
continue.
Basketball has a significantly unique role to
play amongst our communities and young
people who face the greatest of challenges
and barriers to engagement in sport and life
chances.
BBL clubs and indeed many across the NBL
divisions work tirelessly to promote the game
and to engage, support, and educate with
those close to them and that message has
thankfully struck a chord at the highest
echelons within Government. Basketball finally
appears to be part of the national sport
conversation. During times of immense difficulty,
while other indoor sports have decided they
simply cannot understandably continue for the
time being, basketball will stride out confidently
from the shadows. In no uncertain terms, this is
a huge opportunity and moment for the game
in this country.
So, our attention turns without delay to the
BBL Cup and what will be a fast and furious
round of matches for our Plymouth Raiders and
indeed all BBL clubs.
What better way to get our season underway
on Friday night, than the always fiery, fist
pumpingly good derby day win against our
old adversaries, Bristol Flyers.
Despite the 14 day isolation period, Coach
Kapoulas in his 7th season managed to get his
team up for the game, and while both sides
looked rusty, it was a tight game, Raiders
eventually pulling away to close out a 69/54
win with an MVP performance from Will
Neighbour on 18 points.
Attention turns today to Worcester Wolves
and Matt Newby’s 2nd season at the helm.
Today’s game is their entree into the season
and the Cup and with returners Jordan
Williams, Maarten Bouwknecht and Daniel
Johnson-Thompson and former Surrey
Scorcher Henry Wilkins joining the ranks
alongside imports Kimble, Anderson, Parks
and Lawson. Expect an organised, well
coached team and a tough test for Raiders.
For us here at the club, after a Summer of
watching and waiting for developments, we’re
excited to be back, with a revamped squad,
some familiar faces, and with a team Coach
James has high hopes for. Andrew Lawrence
will soon make his long awaited Raiders debut
as he recovers from a hamstring pull, alongside
former Royals team mate Ashley Hamilton, two
superstar Team GB talents who Raiders fans
can expect big things from this season.
Talking of big, we’re absolutely delighted to
welcome Prince Ibeh direct from the Lone Star
State – Texas, who has high ambitions to get
Raiders into the trophy hunt this season. With
experienced BBL campaigner, still only 26 years
old, Elvisi returning, Elliot Sentance making the
step up and “local” lad Denzel Ubiaro entering
his 4th Season for us, it’s all set. Ryan Beisty will
give us depth and Will Neighbour will provide
as always, leadership, experience and some
huge knock down 3’s and tremendous passing
vision. We’re excited to welcome Chris Porter-
Bunton who starred in Europe this past year
and comes ready to make a big impression with
a tough approach to Defence and a reputation
as a super versatile scorer.

Behind the scenes over this past few months,
we welcome our new GM Phil Hughes as we give
our thanks and fondest best wishes to Heather
Nash who departed last month after 7 years
at the club. Heather oversaw two periods of
significant change for the club and her
contribution will be long remembered.
Our volunteers including our new Cheerlead
Squad led by Emilie will all return soon and are
working harder than ever to be ready when
called upon to return, our match day volunteers
including Tony and Irene Smith who for now,
have been helping to prepare the Pavilions for
our imminent start, our media team including
Rebecca, Damian and Jack who have all made
significant contributions in recent weeks,
months and years but also going forward.
We thank them all.
Also a formal introduction, in some cases reintroduction
to our support team - Assistant
First Team Coach Danny McGee, Academy
Coach Paul Nicholson, Community Coach
Ben Fox and our Head of Sports Therapy,
Elliot Cockrell.
I would also like to thank the team of Directors
here at the club, who have all worked through
a very difficult period not only managing their
own businesses but also ensuring your Plymouth
Raiders have a bright future, one you can be
proud to continue to support.
Our Club President Enver will be watching our
games closely and cheering us all on and will
join us at the first opportunity. He sends his
heartfelt thanks, a message of good health
and best wishes to all the Raiders family at this
most difficult of times.
Finally, at a time of great uncertainty, we thank
you more than ever for your support. Our fans,
our sponsors, educational partners and the
entire Raiders family. Your generosity and
passion for this club cannot be thanked enough
in a few simple words. Our ambition is to be
successful for you. You deserve it, and we’ll do
everything we can to make that happen.
Go Raiders!!!!
Foxy, fresh from a starring role in the new series
of children’s animated books in partnership
with Jamie Talbot, is literally itching – (could
need a de-flea’ing to be honest) to get going,
and hopefully not breaking any backboards
this season. He passes that baton to Prince.
ROSS
MACKENZIE
DIRECTOR
Alpaslan Aydin and the Bahçeşehir Koleji team
in Turkey have been supporting the club during
the past several months and have been working
closely with Coach James and the Raiders
office team, forging new alliances and building
a new future across continents for both
organisations. A truly unique and exciting
partnership.

PAUL JAMES
PLYMOUTH RAIDERS COACH
Good afternoon and welcome to the
Pavilions Plymouth for this BBL Cup match
against Worcester Wolves.
These are certainly strange times we are
living in the moment, but we have to be
grateful and thankful that we are able to
start the basketball season when so many
people are not able to continue with the
work that they do because of COVID-19.
In order for us to be here today there have
been many people working extremely hard
to make sure that we have the right procedure
and processes in place to keep us all
safe throughout and I would like to thank
those people for their efforts and making
this possible, all be it without supporters.
There have been many changes within the
club since March. Changes that we will see
greatly enhance the club in the coming
months and years under the new of ownership
of Enver Yucel. We have had a major
change in the front office with Phil Hughes
taking over the General manager duties for
the club and he has had instant impact in
and around the club.
Changes to player personnel always
happens, but this season I feel we have
assembled a strong, talented, and
competitive squad which will be based
around a solid core of domestic players.
GB internationals Ashley Hamilton and
Andrew Lawrence a long with Will
Neighbour, Elvisi Dusha, Ryan Beisty,
Elliott Sentence, Denzel Ubiaro and Mike
Ochereobia, will see us in good shape.
They are joined by our only two nonnationals
for the time being in Prince Ibeh,
Chris Porter-Bunton a long with some up
and coming young talented students from
Marjon university basketball programme,
I feel we have a good mix of players and a
lot to work with.
With the delayed start to the season we
start off with the BBL cup pooled with
Bristol Flyers, Worcester Wolves and Surrey
Scorchers and we play each team home
and away. This will be our first competitive
games as a team so they will be fact finding
games.
It is a tough schedule we have with 5 games
in 10 days and 6 in fifteen. Make no mistake,
we will know where we are by the end of
this period and would have learnt a lot as
a coaching staff and a team ahead of the
BBL championship starting.
I have been looking forward to the games
starting and to see what we can do this
season with this group of players. I am
positive for the campaign ahead.
Your support at home games will be sorely
missed, but I am hopeful that you will be
able to join us by watching our games online
and supporting us in this way!
I extend a warm welcome to Worcester
Wolves coaching staff and players for this
BBL Cup group match.
Enjoy the game. GO Raiders!!!
PAUL JAMES
COACH

WAY BACK WHEN
... THE SEASON WAS CANCELLED
It seems ages since we were able to watch
the Raiders at the Pavilions. 246 days, 19
hours and 30minutes to be exact but that’s
all long forgotten now right? Not exactly, we
are now in lockdown 2.0 and although we get
to watch games, it’s from our own homes.
It was at the Pavilions where the season
ended for the Raiders on Friday 13 th March,
four days before the season was postponed.
An 82-86 loss against the league leaders, but
not champions, Glasgow Rocks ended a few
active months for the Raiders. New owners
were announced, changes to the roster were
made looking to push the side into the
playoffs, fans looking forward in excitement
and then coronavirus affected the country
making many streets and buildings quiet,
the Pavilions being one of those.
The home to the Raiders since 1996, it has
always been known as a loud venue and
tough place for visiting teams, so it certainly
will be different on game days for a little
while to come. The Pavilions closed their
doors on 20 th March and they haven’t been
opened since. Like all the arts venues, it has
been tough for them, so we should consider
ourselves lucky to be able to play this
season’s games here, even if it is without
a crowd.
At times we weren’t even sure if the season
would go ahead and at this time last year
we were seeing the end of the group stages
in the BBL Cup. Our visitors today went on
to win the competition, however Raiders did
inflict them with a 30 point defeat in this
fixture behind 17 points and 13 rebounds
from Tyrell Johnson. Worcester, along with
Raiders other opponents in the early stages
of this competition, Bristol and Surrey, are
the only teams Raiders have defeated at the
Pavilions in just under two years, so I’m sure
coach PJ will look to continue that run
before hopefully additional fixtures will
be released in the Championship and
Trophy competitions.
As we have already seen, with Bristol unable
to fulfil their first two games, there will be
disruption this season. With the exciting
signings over the summer, the anticipation of
the game we all love returning and the ability
to support the team in alternative ways
than rocking up to the Pavilions on a Sunday
afternoon, we should be grateful we have
something to look forward to.

PLYMOUTH MARJON BASKETBALL PROGRAMME
in Partnership with Plymouth Raiders
Welcome, to the fans, partners, and
colleagues of Plymouth Raiders
Basketball Club.
as Denzel Ubiaro, Isaiah Walker and Liam
Langridge Barker named to the professional
team in the recent seasons and more to expect.
We are the Plymouth Marjon University
Basketball Programme, a programme
dedicated to developing the U23 Basketball
Player alongside their Undergraduate or
Postgraduate degree at Plymouth Marjon
University, existing in the pathway
partnership with the Plymouth Raiders
Basketball Club.
In the last 2 years, we have had positive
success, from the students graduating,
undefeated league and cup records,
winning finals, introducing a second programme
team, players stepping up into the professional
team roster and in 2020 having a winning
league season, with our competitive ambition,
to be in the top-flight BUCS Premier! However,
the completition of competition was disrupted
by COVID, in March.
We worked hard during the summer with our
student recruitment and are pleased with
the compliment of new student athletes we
attracted to the University to compete under
the Plymouth Marjon University and Plymouth
Raiders Brand. As part of this new season
Plymouth Raiders announced a second men’s
team to the franchise, Plymouth Raiders II
comprised of student athletes that have the
opportunities to progress in the game and
would play in Basketball England’s NBL.
It is fair to write, we have had to embrace
challenges similarly to many others with
the fluctuation of access to training,
competition with the barriers of COVID,
but we have remained safe, trained successfully
and hope to continue in the pursuit of
our ambitions. We have a programme mantra
‘Be where your feet are’, referring to being
present, control the controllable, take value
for the moment. We will continue striving with
our students to achieve this, academically and
sporting and supporting the well-being of our
athletes in the climate of this pandemic.
Whilst the games, are not yet to commence,
we are preparing on and off the court, we are
working in this moment and for the moment
we wish to create ahead, for players nationally,
for the players in the south west, it’s clubs,
academy’s and community. We are encouraging
sponsors, partners and independent businesses
to join, contribute and aspire to inspire the
fantastic environment, student and operations
of our programme, we have young ambassadors
across social media, events and competition,
who have positive contributions to make.

LADIES
After a strong finish to last season, following
on from the open trials and finishing with
2 wins for the last 2 games, the Plymouth
Raiders Ladies were all set for a good year.
However, with just a single training session
under our belts before the lockdown, our
plans were abruptly halted.
Keeping a constant eye on the Basketball
England guidelines and Return To Play
Roadmap, we were finally able to start
training again in early August, (albeit outdoors
only)...but that was a very welcome
opportunity.
The outdoor sessions allowed us to ease
back into our fitness, whilst giving the new
girls a chance to bond. Amazingly, we were
able to pick up 4 more new recruits over the
lockdown, and we now have the luxury of
a waiting list to keep the squad at full
capacity for the foreseeable future.
However, as the year rolled on, dark nights
and bad weather shortened our evening
sessions, so it was great to be back indoors
by mid-September.
Although restricted to bubbles of 6 per
half-court (with no mixing of bubbles),
not even the virus could stop the ladies
training hard in preparation for next season.
The improvements have been huge,
the talent is above and beyond anything
we could have hoped for and the chemistry
within the team is amazing!
With the under 16 girls squad back underway
and filling up fast, there’s never been
a better time to be a part of women’s
basketball in Plymouth. We’re excited to
see what this new ladies squad can achieve,
but even more excited for the future of
women’s basketball!!

The Plymouth Raiders Central Venue League
has a new name… The Plymouth Raiders
Youth Basketball league! (PRYBL)
Thanks to the Class 4 kids, we have made
payments online now through their system
where it is easy to book players onto.
The PRYBL finally got to make a return but
due to the latest lockdown has had to be
postponed till January.
In the return of the sessions, players and
coaches came back on the journey of
playing basketball with friends and learning
new skills. All sessions had tight COVID rules
that everyone followed perfectly! It was
a great feeling seeing all the players
enjoying the game and seeing the coaches
getting the players playing and developing
new skills.
If you know of anybody who would be interested
in starting their journey of playing
basketball, please visit the Plymouth Raiders
website or follow are social media platforms.

VIEW FROM HOME
Good Afternoon Raiders supporters and
welcome back! The start of the 20/21
season, one of which is going to begin
slightly differently from previous campaigns.
We last got together back in mid-March
when we narrowly lost to the self-proclaimed
‘Champions’ Glasgow Rocks.
Fingers crossed; it won’t be too long before
we are all able to come back together to
get behind our team.
PJ has definitely put together a strong
team this time, with many familiar faces
from previous BBL campaigns. We welcome
back Will, Denzel, Isaiah and Elvisi. We give
a massive HELLO to new players include
Ashley, Andrew, Chris, Prince, Ryan, Michael
and Elliott. They all have a different amount
of experience and some we’ve seen playing
at the Pavilions in previous years.
I’m sure that we know that the start of this
new season has already been affected
by the pandemic, with Flyers conceding
games to Scorchers and games played
behind closed doors. Fingers crossed we can
remotely support our boys via YouTube and
at some point, at the Pavilions, getting loud
and proud and blowing the roof off!
Raiders welcome Worcester Wolves to
play our first home game in the BBL Cup
competition after our away trip to Flyers
on Friday (hopefully was a W).
Stay safe Raiders fans and see you all soon

CHEERLEADERS
Firstly I’d like to say “hello” and thank you for
taking a moment for me to be able to tell you
about some of the exciting things the Cheerleading
Squad have been working on during
both lockdown and over recent weeks.
COMMUNITY PROGRAMMES
The first community programme commenced
at Marine Academy Primary School in early
October. The coaching team are delighted to
be facilitating a weekly session to year 5 and 6
children and look forward to resuming once the
lockdown period is over.
During this past Summer we held a successful
Covid secure audition in partnership with
Chris and members of his Rhythym City Dance
Studio, which proved a huge success and introduced
a number of fantastic new dancers into
our group. While we’re not yet able to perform
at the games for the moment, we can’t wait to
get back on the floor and show you how hard
we’ve been working behind the scenes. I can
also confirm that Foxy arrived unannounced
one evening to bust some moves with us.
Needless to say, watch this space as we look
to tame and direct some of his enthusiasm into
something that looks like a routine!​
I’m also pleased to be able to share information
on some of the Camps and Community
Programmes we’re running, some of which
we’ve already announced, but I’m pleased to
be able to list below - we’d love to have you or
a young family member join us, it’s fun, fitness
based and designed as an introduction to what
we do;
​
CHRISTMAS CAMP
The Christmas Camp is planned to be held on
the 19th December at the YMCA 12:00 – 16:00
with 11 spaces remaining available. To book
your place, head over to Instagram/FB account
for further details.
ACADEMY SQUAD
The Academy Squad consists of 30 children
between the ages of 11-16 year olds which
I am delighted term one is already full. The
Academy will provide opportunities to younger
members of the community, whilst developing
dancers to feed into the main squad when
they come of age. The Academy will enrich
and enhance development, build self-esteem
and positive social skills. The main aim will be
to provide a healthy positive atmosphere for
dancers to experience challenge whilst making
new friends and having fun. We look forward to
the Academy squad joining our side on
court for performances when we return to
some normality.
Please take every chance to follow us on all of
our social channels - facebook, instagram and
twitter!!

Our entire squad would like to send our best
wishes and to stay safe during this time and
we can’t wait to see you soon.

DEVELOPMENT
We went into lockdown in March and
unfortunately had the end of 19/20 season
cut short. Over lockdown we kept in contact
with our players via Zoom to help them work
on their game at home. Coaches also had
to get used to having online meetings, and
were fortunate enough to have a number
of high calibre guests from the UK and
around the world to enable us to build on
our coaching knowledge and skill set. We
even held online end of season presentation
evening!
Thanks to our partnership with Tor Bridge
High Sports Centre, we were back on court
in August, albeit outside, which allowed us
to get in some valuable preseason work, although
the weather wasn’t always that kind
it was fantastic to be back on court. And this
also allowed us to get used to the new Covid
protocols.
At the end of September, we safely ran our
annual team trials and had in excess of 120
children try out for our training squads! All
teams have been back training now for a
month and the appetite and enthusiasm of
all the players has been great to see.
Unfortunately, we have come to a halt again
now just as we were due to play our first
games of the season , hopefully we will be
back on court again soon to pick up where
we left off!
Stay Safe
