NASSA Take Division 3 Title
Newham (NASSA) Neptunes won the Division 3 Men’s playoff title on Saturday with a 78-67 victory over Manchester Magic at Medway Park, Kent.
The older and more experienced NASSA squad set the tone early with a 24-5 first quarter which they refused to give up the rest of the way as MVP Ladi Brown led the way with 18 points and 9 rebounds.
The resilient Manchester side didn’t go down without a fight, closing the gap to 1 point midway through the fourth quarter but couldn’t quite get over the hump.
Magic were led by Daniel Pilkington’s 15 point, 10 rebound double-double, whilst 1993 born Tom Devitt added 12 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assist and Jack Crook added 7 points and 8 rebounds.
Will Ashby and Perry Lawson added 11 points each for NASSA, with the latter adding 7 assists.
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.
