For the second year running, a member of our National Basketball League (NBL) team has been awarded the League’s Most Valuable Player (MVP) award.
This year, Phil Brandreth, an alumni member, has received the top regional award.

Nominations for the award are made by the other teams from the North Division, with Phil receiving the most nominations.
