England U16s Beat Switzerland to Move to 2-0

By Sam Neter on August 10, 2013

England Under-16s moved to 2-0 at the Division B European Championships in Sarajevo on Friday, with a 59-46 victory over Switzerland.

England pulled away from Switzerland in the second quarter and maintained a healthy cushion until the final buzzer thanks to their steely defence.

All twelve England players got minutes on Friday and eleven of those scored. Luke Mitchell went 3 of 6 from outside the arc to finish with a team-best 11 points, Calvin Nevill-Kintu had 9 points, and Carl Wheatle adding 7.

England will try to move to 3-0 on Saturday against Ireland where a win will virtually assure them a spot in the 1st -8th classification games.

Box score.

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.
