England U16s Defeated by Russia

By Sam Neter on July 26, 2012

England U16s suffered their second loss in three classification games so far as they were defeated 68-57 to Russia on Wednesday at the Division A European Championships in Lithuania.

Joe Mvuezolo led England with 11 points, Jules Christian Dang Akado added 10, whilst Theo Oghide finished with 8 points and 11 rebounds.

England will now face a re-match with Czech Republic on Friday afternoon as their hopes of avoiding relegation back to Division B look increasingly slim.

Box score.

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.
