Inverness City Lions start Scottish Division Two campaign with win over Heriot-Watt

Inverness City Lions started life in Scottish Division Two with an impressive victory over Heriot-Watt University.

But despite it being their first season playing at national level, they are not just content on being competitive, they are looking for promotion to the top flight.

Last week saw the club play their first match when they beat Heriot-Watt 74–69 at Millburn Academy.

Head coach John Kerray said it was an impressive start to the season, but they have high ambitions on what they want to achieve.

“We have to start in Division Two, but we have aspirations of winning that and moving into Division One. That is the plan this season.

“We did it with our under-18 team who managed to get promoted within two seasons and we are capable of doing it too.”

The team has been formed from the top players from clubs who compete in the Highland Basketball League.

Kerray says there is a lot of talent in Inverness and the club was keen to give them the chance to play at the highest level in Scotland.
