HATTERS EXTEND WOMEN’S TITLE STREAK
Sheffield Hatters sealed their 17th EBL Women's Division One title with an 81-67 victory at Nottingham Wildcats on Saturday.
Led by 26 points from Stephanie Gandy, a strong first period did the damage for Vanessa Ellis' team as they built on a 47-29 half-time lead to clinch the league and Cup double.
It was also a fifth straight championship for the Hatters who stamped their authority on the EBL the following day as Barking Abbey Leopards were hammered 95-55 in Sheffield.
Edinburgh at the treble
Edinburgh Kings secured a domestic treble by lifting the Scottish Cup with a 76-49 win over St. Mirren.
Having already secured the league and play-off crowns, the capital side cruised to the final trophy of the season.
Sister club, Edinburgh Kool Kats, beat Glasgow Rocks 58-51 in the women’s final to complete their own clean sweep of silverware.
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.
