Myerscough College Defeat SGS College to Win 2015 EABL Championship

By Bradley Gains on May 11, 2015

Myerscough College claimed the 2015 EABL Championship title after beating SGS College 70-56 in the final at UEL’s Sports Dock on Saturday.

Emmanuel Kabengele was the Final MVP after his double-double of 13 points and 13 rebounds to lead Myerscough to the title in just the second year of the programme’s existence.

“It feels great,” he told EABL. “The fact that we’ve won four national titles this year, makes it even better.

“We only had a 10 point lead at half-time. Coach Neal (Hopkins) just told us to step it up, not slack off as they could comeback anytime and that’s what we did and ended up winning.”

SGS, who had beaten Myerscough at the Elite 8 stage last season, and were beaten finalists, were led by Bradley Braves committ Dwayne Lautier-Ogunleye, who finished with 22 points and 10 rebounds

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.
