Sunday’s evening game was so far the best that this tournament has had to offer – Norwegians had their first game in this years tournament and gave Swedes a right scare. At half-time Norway should have been ahead by few points – but the Swedes came and tied it at the last moments of the…
Day Two – rain, sunshine and basketball! Sunnuntai aamu Sundsvallissa alkoi myrskyisasti ja aamiaista nautittiin terassilla kun vetta tuli kirjaimellisesti kuin ‘saavista kaataen’. Mutta parikymmenta minuuttia myohemmin aurinko paistoi ja nautittiin tavallisesta kesapaivasta Ruotsissa.
OK – here’s the first of the reports from Sweden… (and as said, first in Finnish) Jeps, se oli siina se turnauksen ensimmainen peli, vaikea peli Suomelle, Tanskaa vastaan. Ensimmaisella neljanneksella ei sujunut oikein yhtaan mikaan – puolustus oli aika hukassa ja vain Tanskalaisten huono heitto-prosentti piti lukemat tasaisina ottelun alussa. Dettmanin aika-lisa sai sitten…
Hello from Sundsvall!! Now – this Blog for the following five days or so, I’ll try to write both in Finnish and in English. As many readers will be from Finland – but I know there’s few foreign readers as well, so I’ll try to keep everyone happy. Oh, and the Finnish will be very…

Player who is always ready and helpful to give comments and interviews. Here’s a link to an interview with…

Hmm, a painful evening in Derby yesterday evening. I’ve been to Worcester too many times as I’ve gotten to know that ground inside and out, so when I was off to Derby last night – I didn’t think of taking my little chair/stool with me. The ground there is quite big, so I wanted to…
Saturday afternoon I traveled to Leicester for the Testimonial game of one BBL’s legends – Tony Windless. Plenty of past players of the league had arrived to play with Tony in his last game – as well as players, there were plenty of fans and other BBL staff attending the game at JSSC in Leicester….
Being a Sports Photographer isn’t much ‘fun’ here in England… What?? I hear you ask. Now don’t get me wrong – there is plenty of good sports to photograph over here, but what I am getting at here is the fact that I can not share my images with the world. Most of the leagues…
