BELARUS TO BE GB WOMEN’S FIRST TEST

By Mark Woods on May 8, 2013

Great Britain’s women will start their build-up to EuroBasket Women this weekend with a low-key friendly against Belarus which marks the first of several warm-ups for Damian Jennings’ side.

The schedule, confirmed by FIBA Europe, includes three home ties in Guildford and a tournament in Sweden.

GB opened their training camp last weekend with question marks over several players due to injury or alternative commitments, including WNBA-bound Jo Leedham.

However Jennings has got his wish for enough preparatory games to assess his entire squad before whittling it down to 12 before EuroBasket begins on June 15.

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.
