Initial Great Britain Under-20 Squad List

By Sam Neter on June 1, 2013

Great Britain Under-20 training camp opened last weekend, and whilst for some bizarre reason the federation have kept silent about who is on head coach Matt Johnson’s preliminary roster, we took it upon ourselves to find out.

The initial squad, who will be competing for a spot on the final 12 at the Division B European Championships in Bulgaria this summer, is as follows:

Great Britain Under-20 Women Preliminary Roster

Ashleigh Munns
Billie Lucas
Claire Paxton
Flo Ward
Hilary Wood
Kaitlyn Lewis
Lucy Buxton
Melita Emanuel-Carr
Rosie Hynes
Whitney Allen
Shequila Joseph
Harriet Ottewill-Soulsby
Jay-Ann Bravo-Harriott
Megan Lewis
Lauren Milligan
Leah McDerment

Harriet Ottewill-Soulsby joins the side after being released from the Senior side, whilst Cheridene Green and Christina Gaskin, also both named on the initial Senior team have had to withdraw through injury.

Additionally, Janice Monakana is also rehabbing from injury and is aiming for a return with the England Under-18s, but otherwise would’ve been playing U20s.

The team will head to Germany on the weekend of June 1 in the first part of their preparation, where they will play a two game series against the German U20 side.

GB will face Macedonia in their European Championship opener on July 4th.

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.
