Steelers Head to Warwickshire Looking for First League Win

Black Country Steelers are back on the road this Saturday as they travel to face Warwickshire Hawks, with the team looking to pick up their first NBL Division 2 win of the season. The Steelers currently sit at 0–3 after a tough start to the league campaign, with the latest defeat coming against Anglia Ruskin University last weekend. Despite the 80–72 loss, there were plenty of positives to take from the game. After falling as much as 23 points behind, the Steelers showed plenty of fight to bring the deficit back and finish strongly. Now it's about taking that performance into Saturday from the start. There is no hiding from the fact that the Steelers want that first league win. The opening three games have been competitive in spells, but the team knows it needs to put together a complete performance for 40 minutes. Warwickshire will provide another tough test, particularly on their home court. The squad have been back in training this week and will head into Saturday knowing exactly what is at stake.
