GB Senior Women Defeated By Belgium

By on July 21, 2010

In the first of back to back test games against Belgium, a weakened GB side struggled to find form resulting in a 97-71 loss.

Team GB were without Jo Leedham, amongst others (who is hoping to be back for GB’s trip to Israel in three games time). Kim Butler stepped up and led the team with 16 points and 10 rebounds, Julie Page had 11 and Rose Anderson had 10 but unfortunately it was not enough as GB came up short.

Head coach Tom Maher remained positive after the game:

“We were clearly outplayed as far as getting a win however there were a lot of positives. Kim Butler had her best game, we had to face a real superstar in Anne Wauters and we had some seriously good minutes interspersed with our self-destructive play. Not having Jo Leedham, Natalie Stafford or Chantelle Handy obviously hurt us, but we were still able to compete for most of the game.”

The two sides meet again this evening before GB move on to the Netherlands on Friday for another double-header.

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.
