Falkirk Fury, known as Sony Centre Fury for sponsorship reasons, are a basketball team based in the town of Falkirk, Scotland. The Senior Men's team compete in Division 1 of the Scottish Men's National League, the highest level in Scotland and the second highest in the United Kingdom, behind the professional British Basketball League.

History

The club was established in 1992 and originally consisted of players from Falkirk High School and local sports development players. The Senior Men's team joined the Scottish Men's National League in 1996, finishing 3rd in their first season.

The club now competes at all National League age groups, and can boast an extremely strong junior program.

The most famous player to come through the Fury program is GB international co-captain Kieron Achara. After playing across mainland Europe he now turns out for BBL side Glasgow Rocks.

The club is one of the most successful basketball clubs in Scotland, and the Senior Men's team have dominated the League and Scottish Cup over the past few seasons.

Fury competed in the first round of the BBL Trophy in 2015, taking on the Glasgow Rocks at Grangemouth Sports Complex. The visiting Rocks won 112-46.
