London Lions ready for first BBL Webcast game

The Lions would have been happy to see the end of 2015. Five losses in a row at the close of the year were finally overturned in a gripping match when they managed to take the win from the Plymouth Raiders in the first match of the 2016.

Alex Owumi london Lions

 

Alex Owumi joined the team mid way through December. Owumi replaced Jaron Lane who had played only limited minutes in his last few games. Head Coach, Nigel Lloyd commented, “We needed a spearhead for our team and more experience, Alex will provide that and I’m sure the fans will take to him.”

The following few clashes weren’t what Lloyd was looking for though. Losses to Sheffield, Glasgow and Worcester must have made the Christmas period a little less merry, but with last weekend’s thrilling win in the dying minutes the Lions will be looking to build on that this Friday when they take on the Leicester Riders at the Copper Box.

The match will be shown in its entirety, free and live on webcastsport.com

Leicester Riders feature in our first live game

The Leicester Riders are set to feature in our first webcast this Friday, January 8th.

Things are looking good for the Riders. A long winning streak has earned their coach, Rob Paternostro the Molten BBL Coach of the Month award for December. It’s a deserved win, the Riders have still only lost once this season in all competitions.

Paternostro masterminded his team’s safe passage into another BBL Cup Final and ensured Riders remain well-placed in 2016 to continue to challenge Esh Group Eagles Newcastle for the BBL Championship title.

They started December with a BBL Cup Semi-Final second leg victory against London Lions, completing the job and wrapping up a coveted berth at the Barclaycard Arena in Birmingham on Sunday 17 July against the Eagles, with a 75-65 success.

The first of a trio of BBL Championship triumphs and also consecutive road wins came at Manchester Giants, as Riders eased their way to a 76-66 victory.

This Friday they return to the Copper Box to take on this season’s less fancied London Lions, although with the exciting win against the Plymouth University Raiders still uppermost on their minds, the Lions will be looking to continue their recent good form.

Can they maintain their current form? Find out on webcastsport.com where you can watch the match live, for free

Kabaddi roars again

More Kabbadi for you – live from India

I can’t get enough of this – I wish I understood the commentary.

[su_youtube url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7q58-CuDefk” width=”1600″ height=”900″ autoplay=”yes”]

[su_youtube url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7q58-CuDefk” width=”1600″ height=”900″ autoplay=”no”]

Kabaddi has also featured in Bollywood movies such as:

Gori Tere Pyaar Mein

A Kabaddi match can also be an ‘impress-your-sweetheart’ technique. In other words, ruthi girlfriend  ko manana ho, toh play a match  with some professionals and get beaten hollow. Trust us, this trick will definitely work wonders. Even though, it didn’t help Sriram (Imran Khan) win over Dia (Kareena Kapoor) in the movie.

 Tevar

This movie is yet to be released, but the word is already out that it’s a remake of 2003 Telugu film, Okkadu. It is based on the life of a Kabaddi player, played by Arjun Kapoor.  We’ll also get to see Sonakshi Sinha as the female lead. There will be a Kabaddi night match that will showcase Arjun’s talent as a Kabaddi pro. Let’s wait and watch, what Tevar has to offer!

This sport  has been a part of numerous pop culture references. The 1993 movie Little Buddha starring Keanu Reeves has a scene which depicts the game of Kabaddi.
