Women's basketball team the Boston Bombers

Up until last week the Boston Bombers were just a basketball team out of New England.


The city's only semi-professional women's basketball team has changed their name after abruptly closing their Facebook page and website in a bid to disassociate themselves from last week's horrific attack.


They revealed their new name of the Boston Bulldogs on Tuesday.

'We was planning on changing it once the Boston incident happened,' a team spokesperson confirmed to MailOnline.

The Bombers were one of more than 40 teams part of the Women's Blue Chip League, a non-salaried league that provided its players with advanced exposure for opportunities to compete in the next level.
