KitKing Trophy Final 2023: Surrey Sports Park to host Hemel Storm v Worthing Thunder showdown

The 2023 KitKing Trophy Final between Hemel Storm and Worthing Thunder will take place on Saturday 11 March (2pm) at Surrey Sports Park. 

The game, organised in partnership between the NBL Division One Men’s clubs, Surrey Sports Park and Basketball England, will be the culmination of an exciting series of contests which saw the competition progress through group stages to the quarter and semi-finals.  

Hemel beat Reading Rockets in their semi while Worthing saw off last year’s winners Derby Trailblazers to claim their final places. 

Both finalists are currently unbeaten in NBL action, promising a highly competitive showpiece game. 

Tickets are on sale costing £8 (children), £12 (concessions), £16 (adults) and £30 (courtside).
