Archers v Wildcats, WBBL 2022-23
File: 2023001-0654
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 photograph.
This is the British born Brahe Ashton playing for Nottingham Wildcats, on the attack, running and dribbling.
Just to her right side is the American born, Cardiff Met Archers player Abigail Yunker watching 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.
