The Brighton Cougars are an English basketball club from the city of Brighton. Established in 1989, the community-orientated club announced on June 17, 2007 that they would launch a franchise in the professional British Basketball League [1]. The club were due to start competing in Britain's top-tier league in the 2008-09 season.
The club would have been occupying the spot vacated by Brighton's former professional basketball franchise the Brighton Bears, which folded in 2006. However, the Cougars' application to become a franchise in The BBL was denied and the open slot handed to Worthing Thunder, a local rival.[1]
The Brighton Cougars have recently announced that Serious Web Support will be providing professional web site development and support for a new web site as they work towards having a team in British Basketball League for the 2008/9 season.
