England Under-18s Cut to 16

By Sam Neter on July 6, 2012

Following the 2012 Future Stars tournament where they finished in fourth place with a 2-2 record, the England Under-18s have been cut to 16 players.

Head coach Steve Bucknall commented:

“We were pleased to finish up 2-2 at the Future Stars tournament considering the stage we are in preparation and the excellent competition which it provided us.

“Playing four international games helped us to gauge were we are as a team and individuals and will help us to improve in the future!

The evaluation period is nearly complete and we can now reduce the squad numbers to 16 vying for a place on the plane for the Euros.”

The 16-man squad sees one new addition, London United-Harefield Academy’s Elvisi Dusha who we can only assume caught Bucknall’s eye at the Future Stars tournament, having not been listed on any previous squads.

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.
