The Varsity Basketball 1’s fixture between BCU and Aston University was abandoned following a medical emergency during the third quarter.
Our thoughts are entirely with the player involved, their family, teammates and friends. We’re wishing you a full and speedy recovery. 💙
But in what was an incredibly difficult and distressing situation, it would be wrong not to recognise the quite remarkable response of the BCU coaching staff, the wider BCU team, and the staff at Sir Doug Ellis Woodcock Street Leisure Centre.
Their swift, calm and professional actions in those moments were extraordinary, and a huge credit to every single one of them. Because of people like that, lives are saved when they are in the right place at the right time and know exactly what to do. 🙏
I debated long and hard whether to post these photographs at all. Ultimately, they are a record of a day where sport came second to something far more important — the people in it.
