EBL Men’s Division 2: Durham Complete the Treble
Durham Wildcats added to their silverware
Durham Wildcats completed the Men’s Division 2 treble after beating Team Northumbria 70-67 yesterday, to add the playoff title to the Patron’s Cup and their regular season title. It was a valiant effort from Team Northumbria, who were down by 17 early in the game but came storming back into it before the final buzzer sounded.
It was an emotional win for the Wildcats who lost club secretary Pete Jaques last week. Runner up Division 2 Player of the Year Scott Morton led the Wildcats with 18 points, 5 assists and 4 steals, whilst Michael Davies had 17. Division 2 Player of the Year Paul Elderkin struggled, going 0/16 from the floor to finish with 4 points, but found other ways to contribute, grabbing 12 rebounds, dishing 3 assists, swiping 4 steals and adding 1 block.
Team Northumbria were led by David Wintersgill, who shot 8/9 from the field to finish with 17 points as the only player in double figures.

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.
