The Kent Crusaders hope to end their season with a win, as already relegated Black Country University of Wolverhampton visit for the last game of the season.

“We haven’t really showed our home crowd what we can do, with four of our six wins coming on the road, so we’re hoping to be able to prove that we can play better than what we’ve shown”, says Crusaders head coach Mads Olesen of the game.

The two teams last met in January, as Crusaders ended the game with a 20-4 run to take a close fought 63-58 away win.

“I’m relieved that the game is not going to decide anything, as Black Country are a well run team that has been competitive all season, but have lost late in games. As late as last weekend they beat Plymouth Raiders, and there’s no doubt they’re looking to finish their season well”.
