England U16s Secure First Win

By Sam Neter on July 24, 2012

England Under-16s recorded their first ever Division A victory on Monday, as they beat the Czech Republic 86-77 at the European Championships in Lithuania.

Jules Dang Christian Akado once again led England with a 16 point, 7 rebound, 7 assist outing, whilst Theo Oghide had a 15 point, 10 rebound (7 offensive), double double on 7/10 shooting. Dwayne Lautier-Ogunleye and Joe Mvuezolo added 11 points each.

England will now take on Slovenia on Tuesday afternoon as they continue the battle to avoid relegation back to Division B.

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.
