Archers v Wildcats, WBBL 2022-23

            File: 2023001-0977

Cardiff Met Archers vs Nottingham Wildcats, Women’s British Basketball League (WBBL) match on Saturday 21st January 2023. Game played at the Archers Arena, Cardiff Metropolitan University, in Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom, during the 2022-23 season.
 
About the photographs.

This is British born, Nottingham Wildcats player Brahe Ashton wearing jersey number 1, attempting to block, but careful not to comment a foul, the opposite player.

The opposite is the American born Abigail Yunker playing for Cardiff Met Archers, wearing jersey number 2.

In the photo, Yunker is attempting to find an opening, to pass to any of her teammates, but she was unable to do so, and decided to move to her right, and get around Ashton.

Special thanks to the members of Cardiff Met staff for giving me permissions to shoot the game from courtside. 

I had been taking the photos with a 50mm lens, as it was the only lens, I have that is fast enough. The 28-200mm would have limited aperture which would have given me slow shutter speed. I spent the whole game going up and down the sidelines, looking for best possible shots. 

At the end of the game, the score was Archers 69 – 75 Wildcats.
