Club news·30 September 2026

Welcome to the new club website

Welcome to the new North Herts Knights website! It’s been rebuilt from the ground up to make it easier to find what you need, whether you’re a player, a parent, a coach or thinking about joining us.

Live fixtures, results and league tables

Fixtures, results and league tables now come straight from PlayHQ, the system Basketball England uses to run its leagues. No more copying scores across by hand: the website checks PlayHQ every hour from 10am to 6pm on Saturdays and Sundays, and every morning, so results appear shortly after the final whistle.

The Fixtures page lists every game across the club, and you can filter it to just your team. On a phone, Upcoming and Results sit on their own tabs, so you don’t have to scroll past every fixture to find a score.

The Fixtures page, with a filter for each team, upcoming games and recent results — Every game across the club, with opponents’ club badges, home or away, and a filter for each team.

A page for every team

Each team has its own page, with the league table, the next game and the last result right at the top. Underneath you’ll find training times and venues, the coaches and team manager, a “Meet the team” carousel of players, a photo gallery, and the Junior NBL rules for that age group.

The U12s Mixed team page, showing the league table, next game and last result — Team pages show where we sit in the league, our next game and our last result.

Match reports with player points

Coaches can now write match reports that are linked to the result, so a “Match report” link appears next to the score wherever it’s shown. Each report includes the final score, both clubs’ badges and every player’s points from the official PlayHQ scoresheet. Players are only ever shown by shirt number, never by name.

Player points cards from a match report, showing each player by shirt number with their points — Player points come straight from the scoresheet, highest scorer first.

Community sessions

Our community programmes, NHK Roses and NHK Community, each have their own page, with a card for every session showing the day, time, venue, age groups and who runs it.

The NHK Community page with session details and age groups — Community pages show every session at a glance.

Easy to keep up to date

Behind the scenes, the website runs on a simple content editor, so our volunteers can update news, teams, training times, photos and match reports without any technical knowledge. Press publish, and the website updates within a couple of minutes.

Getting in touch

The contact form now sends your message straight to the right people, depending on what it’s about. If you’re interested in playing, look for the Register interest buttons on team pages, or check the Trials page for upcoming dates.

Thank you

A huge thank you to Ed Sparkes, who designed and built the new website, connected it to PlayHQ and set up the editor behind it. And to Rafe Abrook of Rafe Abrook Photography, whose photos you’ll see on every page.
