Cardiff Met Archers vs Nottingham Wildcats, Women’s British Basketball League (WBBL) game on Saturday 14th October 2017. Game was played at the Archers Arena, Cardiff Metropolitan University, in Cardiff, Wales (Cyrmu), United Kingdom, during the 2017-18 season.
About the photograph.
This shot was taken with a 28-200mm lens having a maximum of f 3.8, and from the seating on an upper level. The view of the basketball court is partial blocked by the backboard at one end of the court.
At that time, the arena did not have strong bright indoor lights, unlike the newly redeveloped arena as seen in my photos of the 2022-23 season, so I had to make do with low light levels, even when pushing the ISO speed to the camera’s maximum.
The reason why my later photos looked better is because I used a fast 50mm lens, shot from courtside, in brighter lights.
The game ended with Archers 73 – 78 Wildcats.
About the teams.
The Wales based Cardiff Met Archers started in 1999, as a university basketball team. They have about 19 different teams, range from Under-10s to Seniors, and men’s teams as well as women’s teams.
The women’s senior team (seen here in the photograph) is the only team in a top-level elite franchise-based league. They joined the Women’s British Basketball League when it was first set up in 2014, and to date, are still in the WBBL.
The Nottingham Wildcats is an English women’s basketball team based in Nottingham, England, and was founded in 1976. As a successful team in the English Women’s Basketball League, the Wildcats became one of the founding members of the WBBL.
They had two Championships in the 2015-16 and 2016-17 seasons, and also won the WBBL Cup during the 2017-18 season.
The Women’s British Basketball League is a top-level franchised based basketball league in the United Kingdom, and a sister to the men’s British Basketball League (BBL). It was announced in June 2014 and started with the 2014-15 season.
