England U16s Fall at the Final Hurdle, Lose to Slovenia

England Under-16s fell at the final hurdle on Sunday night as they lost to Slovenia 82-73 in the 2011 Division B European Championships final.

A victory would have been the icing on the cake for Simon Fisher’s side who were previously undefeated, and gained promotion to Division A with a victory over Israel in the semi-final.

They finish with a 7-1 record, and second place position overall-the best ever finish for an England junior side.

England were led by 23 points from Luke Nelson, whilst Sam Round had 15 and Mo Soluade added 13. Kingsley Okoroh added to his impressive rebounding tally in the tournament as he finished with 12.
