Hemel Storm’s National Cup final meeting with Reading Rockets will take place at 4pm this Sunday, 19th January, as Storm look to taste success in the competition for the second time in three years.
The final will once more be staged at the National Basketball Performance Centre in Manchester - M12 4TF - and tickets for the contest are available for purchase directly via the Basketball England website, and can be accessed using the link here. They’re priced at £10 per adult, with reduced rates of £5 offered for under-18s, students and over-65s.
You should purchase a ticket entitled ‘Senior National Cup Finals 2024/25 - Sunday, 19 January 2025’, and this will guarantee you entry to both the Men’s National Cup final, between Storm and the Reading Rockets, which will tip at 4pm, and the Women’s National Cup final, tipping at the earlier time of 1pm, with Ipswich Basketball and Brent Bulls set to battle it out.
Regrettably, due to the short turnaround time from Saturday’s semi-final, there will be no official supporter coach provided by the club. However, we are committed to helping fans to make their way to the game, with fan page ‘Lets Go Storm’ working to organise car sharing arrangements between fellow supporters that are making the trip to Manchester. We hope this will make fans feel more comfortable in completing the journey and will also help to cut costs for the long trip across the country! For more information, send a DM to the Let’s Go Storm Instagram page or email admin@stormbasketball.net.
Finally, there is a Limited Edition Storm National Cup Finalists tee-shirt for fans to purchase via this link. Priced at £7.50 adult and £6.00 junior. Please note that orders for this item cannot be posted to arrive in time! Please choose collection from production or add a note to pick up at the venue.
We wish a safe journey to all Storm fans that are travelling, and hope to see as many of you there as possible to cheer the boys on!
