Falkirk Fury: Stars honoured at club's awards night for previous two seasons

FALKIRK FURY BC AWARDS NIGHT CELEBRATING SEASONS 21-22 & 22-23

Falkirk's Sony Centre Fury Basketball Club had a double cause for celebration as they presented club honours for season 21-22 and 22-23 at Larbert HS. Over 250 attended the event that saw players, coaches and volunteers recognised for their work and achievements over the past 2 seasons. With covid ruling out season 20-21, the clubs' 30th season of basketball was also celebrated during the 22-23 season.

The evening saw players and teams recognised for their achievements not just in the Scottish National Leagues and Cups but also for representing their country with an incredible 30 players in season 21-22 and 16 in season 22-23.

The club continued to take major titles in 21-22, the Senior Men winning the Scottish Cup and in season 22-23 the Junior U18 Men winning the Play-Offs with the Cadet U16 Men winning the Scottish League title. Fury finished as runners-up in an incredible 7 other National competitions, making the club the most consistent in all age groups of top level basketball in Scotland.
