By Sam Neter on July 5, 2013

England Under-18s got their second consecutive win at the Torneo Internazional Valle D’Itria in Italy, as they defeated Greece 73-58 to move to 2-0 in the tournament on Friday night.

Following on from an impressive opening day victory over Italy, Luke Nelson had 19 points to lead all England scorers, whilst Mo Soluade had 17, Tyrell Isaacs 10 and Kingsley Okoroh added 7.

Steve Bucknall’s side will finish the tournament on Saturday when they take on Ukraine, who they will also meet in Group D at the European Championships in a couple of weeks.

The Division A European Championships begin on the 18th July in Latvia, where England will open up against Turkey to tip off their campaign.

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.
