GB U16 Women’s Squad Named for Nottingham Camp

Head Coach Kenrick Liburd has announced the Under 16 Women’s squad that will travel to Nottingham for a Player Review Camp on Thursday 18 and Friday 19 April 2019.

26 players have been invited to camp, who will attend multiple training sessions as well as play competitive games as part of the Pauline Prior International Challenge. The recently selected England U15 squad will also take part in the tournament, as will the Ireland U16 team who finished a place above GB at last season’s U16 European Championships.

“I’m excited to get the players together and continue the journey towards this year’s European Championships in Bulgaria,” said Liburd. “It will be good to get everyone together as a group, and the games against England and Ireland should give us a really good look at what the group has to give.”

The players invited to camp are as follows:

Abbey Whitehouse – Sheffield Hatters
Alex Shaw – Derby Trailblazers
Alice Fallon – Sheffield Hatters
Asha Andrews – Sevenoaks Suns
Becky Smith – Lancashire Spinners
Chenai Mushroe – Sevenoaks Suns
Daisy Ellen Porter – Oaklands College Wolves
DJ Casanova – Nottingham Wildcats
Eabha Kerr – Caledonia Pride
Ella Doherty – Caledonia Pride
Fatima Jenneh – Newham Youngbloods
Faye Endean – Team Solent Kestrels
Grace Ashton – West Herts Warriors
Isimennie Ozzy Momondu – Southwark Pride
Isobel Bunyan – Cardiff Archers
Jannike Marshall – Caledonia Pride
Joice Leavold – Oaklands College Wolves
Kacey Cox – Bristol Basketball Club

Molly Lavin – Richmond Knights
Neve Marvill – Derby Trailblazers
Paige Martin – Hastings High School (USA)
Rose Harvey – Caledonia Pride
Tamara Onedoko – Sevenoaks Suns
Tinu Fakunle – Newham Youngbloods

The camp and tournament are to be held at Nottingham Wildcats Arena and the competition is a fitting tribute to Pauline Prior, who was recently inducted into the Nottingham Wildcats Hall of Fame. Prior has a long standing link to international basketball as a former elite player as well as a team manager for various sides, including the England Senior Women.

The schedule for the tournament is as follows:

Thursday 18th April
16:00 – England Vs Ireland
18:00 – GB vs Ireland

Friday 19th April
10:00 – GB vs England
12:00 – GB vs Ireland

Entry is £2 for adults and £1 for Under 16s.

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.
