Results, stats, notes below:

Results

Cornella beat England Under-17s 88-57
It was a tough start to the tournament for the England Under-17 Development squad as they were dominated on the way to a 31 point loss to Spanish side Cornella.

The Spaniards, who pressed for the majority of the game, forcing England to turn the ball over 37 times, were led by Jordi Cardiff’s 23 points, 8 rebounds and 5 steals in just under 20 minutes, whilst Nil Deix added 22 points and 9 rebounds.

Eddie Matthews and Ben Seipt were the only England players in double figures with 11 and 10 points respectively. Myles Laurent-Smart added 6 assists in under 15 minutes.

Box score.

Akademie Weser beat Manchester U16s 100-45
German side Akademie Weser had little trouble dispatching of the younger Manchester Magic side in the tournament.

A glitch with the live stats means no box score available, but will try and get leading scorers today.

Magic U18 beat Belfast Stars 87-80
In what promised to be a competitive match-up with one of the strongest U18 club sides in Northern Ireland against arguably the strongest U18 side in England, it was Manchester who came out on top with a 7 point victory.

Magic had five players reach double figures, led by Ed Potter’s 18 point, 12 rebound double double. Jordan Green and Patrick Whelan added 14 points each, whilst Conor Portor finished with 10 points and 7 assists.

Belfast’s twin brother backcourt of Conor and Aidan Quinn combined for 49 points, with Conor accounting for 31 of those. Big man Oisin Kerlin had 13 points, 12 rebounds and 4 blocks before fouling out in the fourth.

Box score.

Kos Sarajevo beat Switzerland Select 64-57
Kos got a 7 point victory over Switzerland Select behind a big fourth quarter performance, in a game that remained close throughout.

Kos were led by Atic Edin’s 28 points and 8 rebounds, whilst Branislav Kostic was the only player in double figures for Switzerland Select with 10 points.

Box score.

Notes

  • The Quinn brothers in the Belfast backcourt made for the most entertaining players of the day. Though they both had a tough time shooting the ball, they’re a handful.
  • England U17s will no doubt have teething problems as they get used to playing together – the contrast playing against a Spanish club side who are used to each other couldn’t have been clearer.
  • Good to see a number of Manchester Giants’ players in the building, supporting the cause.
  • I stayed on the show court for opening day, so am looking forward to seeing the Akademie Weser, and Kos Sarajevo in action today.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
