👏👏👏

Congratulations to a true legend of our game Cliff Fullbrook for his recent Services to Basketball award!

For over 50 years of dedicated service to basketball, Cliff has made an outstanding and lasting contribution to the game across numerous roles including administrator, secretary and statistician. His passion, commitment and tireless volunteer work have been instrumental in developing basketball within the Solent area, particularly in supporting and advancing the women’s game.

Cliff has devoted an incredible amount of time and energy to club development at Solent Suns and Team Solent Kestrels to name a few. His drive to improve the standards of statistics within the game combined with his willingness to always go above and beyond behind the scenes has earned the respect and admiration of everyone who has worked with him.

This recognition is thoroughly deserved and reflects not only his exceptional service to basketball but also the lasting impact his dedication, leadership and commitment have had on the sport and the people within it over many decades.
