GB Women Take Series Vs Israel

The Great Britain Senior Women’s team completed their three game test series against Israel with a 71-59 win to take the series 2-1.

After a tense first quarter, that saw Great Britain take a 2 point lead, the visiting side remained focused and pushed their lead up and up. GB carried a 10 point lead into the fourth allowing them to roll to victory despite a much tighter fourth quarter in which they just edged Israel, 21-19.

Kim Butler stepped up to lead GB with 22 points, six assists and five rebounds whilst Julie Page added a double-double of 13 points and 14 boards. Steph Collins contributed well with eight points, four rebounds and five dimes.

Head Coach, Tom Maher, was happy to have won but will still want more from his side.

“It’s great to win a series against Israel 2-1, but in truth it was winning ugly.”

Maher’s side will hope the carry the confidence from the win into their upcoming EuroBasket qualifier against the Slovak Republic on August 14th in Birmingham.
