England Cruise To Victory Over Luxembourg
The England Senior Men’s side cruised to a 91-78 victory over Luxembourg in France yesterday in their first game since the announcement of their new look roster.
Head Coach Paul James said;
“It was a little bit like starting all over again having to bring in four new players to the team, but they adapted well, picked up the plays well and did some really positive things during the game,” said James.
“James Jones was once again the outstanding player with good support from Mike Williams and debutant Ross Allsop both putting in good performances.
“It was good to get back to winning ways, but just as importantly we are getting a chance to look at English talent and assess their international potential for the future. The games coming up will be a bigger test for this group of players.”.
Everton Tiger and England Captain James Jones led all scorers with 16, whilst Mike Williams had 13 and Ben Eaves and Ross Allsop had 12 each.
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.
