Basketball: Signs Express Fury in pole position for 'three-peat' after latest league win
Signs Express Fury’s senior men moved three games clear of nearest rivals Boroughmuir Blaze and Edinburgh Kings in their final SBC Division 1 Championship outing of 2025.
The Grangemouth-based team’s dominant 30–8 third quarter against Blaze last weekend proved decisive in the 92-70 success, with Fury stretching their advantage to as many as 38 points in the fourth quarter. The result keeps Fury’s bid for a league “three-peat” firmly on track.
Ali Fraser led the way with an outstanding double-double, finishing with 24 points and 13 rebounds. Bantu Burroughs was also in excellent form, contributing 20 points, while Murray Hendry and American Princeton Onwas added further support with 14 and 11 points respectively. Junior guard Humza Fadel stepped up with 27 minutes of court time in the absence of Jonny Bunyan, producing a solid all-round performance with seven points, five assists and three steals. Lithuanian forward Eddie Leginas and Adnan Jalil also impressed.
Speaking to the Falkirk Herald after the big win, Fury’s head coach John Bunyan praised his team’s focus and execution.


He said: “We were locked in from the start and with a 10-point lead at half-time it was important that we kept building in the second half. Winning the third quarter 30–8 was probably among the best basketball we’ve played all season, not only executing well on offence but also being big on the defensive end.”
Looking ahead to what will be another big year for Fury, especially the club’s senior men, Bunyan added: “We’re already through to the Scottish Cup final too. It’s been a very successful first half of the season and full credit goes to all the players.”
Meanwhile, there are limited places remaining for Fury’s USA basketball camps, taking place on Sunday at Grangemouth SC. The camps will be co-hosted by Fury’s USA stars – ex-Caledonia Gladiators ace Princeton Onwas and fellow Fury star Javon Daniels.
Two age-group camps will be delivered, one for 7-10-year-olds and another for 11-13-year-olds. Each camp will last two hours and costs £10 per participant. The 7-10 age group will run from 11:30am to 1:30pm, followed by the 11-13 camp from 1:30pm to 3:30pm.
