Leeds Met Left Soul Searching, BUCS Premier Results Week 3
Another week of mixed results in the BUCS Premier leagues, which have left Leeds Met soul-searching after a 32 point rout at the hands of Northumbria. The defending champs remain winless after three games and are sitting in the relegation zone of the Premier North.
In the South, Oxford continued to steamroll their way through opponents, beating Kingston by 17 (funnily enough, their closest result so far, to a team no-one expected to be relevant). They now stand at 3-0 and are beating teams by an average of 36 points! LSBU also remain undefeated, this week taking care of Middlesex with a 44 point rout. The true indicator of how the Premier South is going to pan out will be the matchup of Oxford and LSBU on 17th November.
Full results below:

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.
