England U18 Squad Named for Warmups
England Under-18 Head Coach Steve Bucknall has named his squad for a series of upcoming warmups for the Division B European Championships this summer. The team heads to Mons, Belgium this weekend for games against Belgium and Luxembourg and then return to England to participate in Future Stars 2011.
The roster is as follows:
England U18 Squad for Warmups
Jamie Batish (Sandringham Sabres, Australia)
Jack Crook (Manchester Magic)
Simeon Esprit (Barking Abbey)
Dale Francis-O’Brien (Canarias Basketball Academy, Spain)
Joshua McGinn (Manchester Magic)
Elliott Sentance (Leicester Warriors)
David Sainsbury-Garcia (Asefa Estudiantes, Spain)
Jordan Spencer* (High School, USA)
John Stewart (City of Sheffield)
Raphell Thomas-Edwards (Leicester Warriors)
Harrison Turner* (Taunton Tigers)
Joshua Ward-Hibbert (Derby Trailblazers)
Zak Wells (Barking Abbey)
Ross Wilson (Newcastle Eagles)
*Harrison Turner and Jordan Spencer are not travelling to Belgium and will only compete in Future Stars.
Spanish based David Sainsbury-Garcia and former Milton Keynes Lions guard Jordan Spencer are both late additions to the squad who were not on the most recent team list released in March.
The team has suffered a blow as Blair Academy guard Joe Hart has recently undergone knee surgery and will be out until next season, whilst Devon Van Oostrum who is also elegible for this squad is competing with the GB U20s.
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.
