Defending champions Ormesby are looking for their first win of the season as they welcome Fusion to their Middlesbrough headquarters this Saturday.

Ormesby were edged out by an impressive Urban TTC in their opening fixture of the SBL Premier Division.

It is sure to be a weekend to remember for 15-year-old Thomas Rayner as he makes his Premier Division debut. Rayner, the current England number five junior and one of the country’s top prospects, will join Sining Zhang and Helshan Weerasinghe representing Ormesby. 

Fusion travel to the north-east on the back of a thumping 7-0 victory over North Ayrshire. 

They make one change to their trio with James Smith replacing Kazeem Adeleke. He joins the current veteran number one Lorestas Trumpauskas and number one rated junior Joseph Hee.

The match is the final one in round two of fixtures, having been rearranged. Round three gets underway on 14th December with Ormesby and Fusion back in action. A full complement of fixtures are scheduled for that weekend, the last of the year before teams meet again in January.
