Peckham Pride Take U16 National Cup Title

By Sam Neter on February 16, 2014

Peckham Pride were crowned the 2014 Under-16 National Cup Champions as they routed Ipswich, 79-53, on Saturday afternoon at the Amaechi Centre, Manchester.

It wasn’t until the third period where the Pride took full control of the game, as Shaquille Walters scored 8 of his 12 points for Peckham, who overwhelmed Ipswich with their press.

From there, MVP Kemar Hawes, sealed the win, taking over in the fourth to finish with 18 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals.

Gediminas Juozapaitis added 16 for Peckham, with Thai Segwai finishing with 11 and 4 assists.

Mark James had 18 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists whilst playing all 40 minutes for Ipswich, who turned the ball over 31 times.

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.
