GB U20 Women Drop to 0-6 with Bulgaria Loss

By Sam Neter on July 8, 2015

Great Britain were beaten 79-57 by Bulgaria at the U20 European Championship Women Division B up in Podgorica as the quest continues to record a first triumph.

GB had looked well placed to rack up their maiden success on Montenegrin soil after a nice opening half which had witnessed them move 37-34 ahead at the interval, thanks to a flurry of scores from downtown.

But when they re-emerged from the locker room, they were confronted by a rejuvenated Bulgaria who jumped into the box-seat with a scorching 23-6 third quarter.

GB had no answer in the final quarter as Bulgaria continued controlling the rebounds which paved the way for a comfortable victory.

Evelyn Adebayo led the way in defeat with 14 points.

GB will now take a rest day and resume their campaign on Friday for their seventh game of the competition when they face Lithuania at 15.10 (UK time).

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.
