The Barking Abbey Summer League tipped off on Saturday-four pretty stacked teams (BA Leopards, BA Alumni Team, East London Titans and a Hoopsfix team) going at it over the next five weeks. Featuring current and former BBL pros, NCAA D1 players, England and GB Junior internationals, I’d say it’s one of the highest standard summer leagues that has been run in London over the last few years.
Two games every Saturday, (tips at 3.15pm and 5pm at Barking Abbey if you’re interested in coming down), here are the Top 10 plays from the first week of action, including a couple of nasty dunks from Joe Ikhinmwin and a big putback from veteran Lee McCarthy. Check it out and maybe I’ll see you down there next weekend!
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.
