With the EABL Final Four taking place at UEL Sports Dock tomorrow (free entry – 5pm & 7pm), we thought we’d do a little throwback Thursday to this time last year, when 1997 born Josh Steel led his BA squad to the title.
Steel had 11 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists to lead BA past Charnwood in the semi, but saved his best for the final, where he had 20 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists against SGS, including two huge back to back threes in the final minutes to give BA the lead.
Steel and BA will not be at this year’s Final Four, being knocked out by Myerscough in the Elite Eight, as SGS will look to avenge their Final loss, along with Preston, Myerscough & Charnwood College.

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.
