2010 GB Women’s Roster Announced

Rosalee Mason has made the roster

Head Coach Tom Maher announced his GB Standard Life Women’s roster yesterday for their 2010 European campaign as they look to qualify for Eurobasket 2011 in Poland, facing Slovak Republic, Germany and Ukraine both home and away.

Talking about the roster, Maher said

“I have now been in the position long enough to enable me to assess the roster and work out what I needed to bring in for the forthcoming campaign. I think the balance we have between experience and emerging talent should provide us with the correct mix for what will be a challenging summer programme. It is disappointing we have recently lost Yemi (Oyefuwa) to injury as she would have made the roster this season, however we wish her well for a speedy recovery. We have brought the roster in earlier than usual so we can get as much time together before the games get underway. This is an important summer for the team, so we need to be 100% prepared for what is going to be an intensive summer of basketbal”
