Filton Flyers entered EBL3 in 2005.
As I understand it, the current situation is this:
Direct links have been forged between Bristol Basketball Club and Filton College, which now has an accredited Basketball Academy, while Bristol were awarded 4 star club rating from EB. The Filton Flyers, have now joined EBL3, and Bristol have become an under-22 side, still in EBL3, but as a separate club, as teams from the same club are not permitted to play in the same division.
The intention appears to be that the Flyers will push for promotion, and that once they are in a different division there will become a more formal (and official) connection between the teams.
