London Lions destroyed Gran Canaria 76-46 in the first leg of their EuroCup Women qualifier in London.
Quite the statement from the WBBL outfit on their European debut, with a cushion that will surely take them into the group stages once the formalities of the return leg in Spain are complete.
Even with Jo Leedham rested, the hosts ran riot at Crystal Palace with Holly Winterburn leading the way with 22 points.
Mark Clark’s side blew the game apart with a 20-6 run in the second period and were coasting clear by the close with Kennedy Leonard adding 14 points.

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.
