Team Legacy Win Brighton 4 on 4
Team Legacy with their prize money
Whilst most of the country was watching England get destroyed by Germany on Sunday, a select few were down at the first annual Runnin’ Rebels Brighton Beach Streetball Tournament battling out for their share of up to £300 in prize money!
It was Team Legacy, made up of Leon Bernard, Tarryn Algar, Ben Clarke, Andrew Wilding, James Bagan and Daniel Maxwell who came away with the cash, going up against Vance Silcott’s Chances For All Sports team in the final.
Despite a few teams not showing up for a number of reasons (15 were registered, 8 showed), competing with the England-Germany game and a relatively low overall standard, this was a SICK day! Tournament organisers take note; there is no better location than Brighton Beach.
The weather was perfect, the beach was packed, the music was on point and there were far bigger crowds than at the England-Scotland game I watched up in Worcester on Sunday.
A great day had by all (especially Leon Bernard who had a ridiculous number of nice throwdowns), that was a credit to the Runnin’ Rebels basketball organisation.
Huge thanks to Becky and Nick for having me, will hopefully be throwing together a little video soon!
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.
