Archers v Wildcats, WBBL 2022-23
File: 2023001-0977
Cardiff Met Archers vs Nottingham Wildcats, Women’s British Basketball League (WBBL) match on Saturday 21st January 2023. Game played at the Archers Arena, Cardiff Metropolitan University, in Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom, during the 2022-23 season.
About the photographs.
This is British born, Nottingham Wildcats player Brahe Ashton wearing jersey number 1, attempting to block, but careful not to comment a foul, the opposite player.
The opposite is the American born Abigail Yunker playing for Cardiff Met Archers, wearing jersey number 2.
In the photo, Yunker is attempting to find an opening, to pass to any of her teammates, but she was unable to do so, and decided to move to her right, and get around Ashton.
Special thanks to the members of Cardiff Met staff for giving me permissions to shoot the game from courtside.
I had been taking the photos with a 50mm lens, as it was the only lens, I have that is fast enough. The 28-200mm would have limited aperture which would have given me slow shutter speed. I spent the whole game going up and down the sidelines, looking for best possible shots.
At the end of the game, the score was Archers 69 – 75 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 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.
