GB Women Shock France
Great Britain women finished the 2012 Game on Sheffield tournament on a high after upsetting France with a 74-67 victory on Sunday afternoon.
GB enjoyed their best performance of the weekend against the world number eight ranked and Olympic qualified side, getting key contributions from leading scorer Jo Leedham with 23 points and Natalie Stafford, who chipped in with 18 points.
“Our goal was to make today our best game,” commented head coach Tom Maher. “After playing two games in two days, if this isn’t our best game then after the lessons that Angola and Australia taught us, we haven’t moved forward.
“We had to play our best game and we did it.”
Australia won the Standard Life Game On 2012 tournament with three wins, while GB came second followed by France in third place and Angola fourth in the overall rankings.
Great Britain will be in action again on Wednesday evening when they play world number one ranked side, Team USA at the MEN Arena in Manchester, tip-off 7pm.
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.
