GB Senior Women Go Undefeated Against Portugal

By on July 19, 2010

The GB Standard Life Senior Women made it 3 wins in 4 so far this summer with back to back wins over Portugal this weekend in a double header down in Surrey which will served as preparation for their Eurobasket qualifying campaign.

On Saturday, Tom Maher’s team came back from a late second quarter deficit to blow out the Portuguese side by twenty two points at Surrey Sports Park. Julie Page led the scoring for team GB with 18 pts and 6 boards, being backed up by National Player of the Year Natalie Stafford’s 13.

Sunday saw Natalie Strafford take matters into her own hands ensuring that GB didn’t dig themselves a hole early. Strafford tallied a 15 point first quarter whilst also grabbing 3 steals, willing the side to stick with Portugal. With Strafford cooling down in the second half the rest of the team shouldered the load and held their lead. Despite a late run, GB held on the win the game 73-65. Julie Page again led the scoring effort for GB with 20.

The women will now travel to Europe to play Belgium, in another two day test match, in the next stage of their preparations. Let’s hope they continue to build on these results!

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.
