London Lions power past Sheffield Hatters to reach Cup final

By on November 20, 2021

London Lions powered their way into the WBBL Cup final for the first time after defeating Sheffield Hatters 66-100 on the road, on Saturday afternoon.

Jo Leedham-Warner starred with 27 points, seven rebounds and five assists with Shanice Beckford-Norton adding 21 points and eight rebounds in all-round team effort.

Azania Stewart had 14 points with Steph Umeh adding 11 points, while Kennedy Leonard contributed 12 points, six rebounds, eight assists and five steals in the win.

The Lions set the tone as they jumped out to an 11-27 start in the first quarter and had a commanding 20-point advantage going into the half-time break.

Mark Clark’s side could become the sixth different winner of the competition in its sixth edition. They will face either Newcastle Eagles or Leicester Riders in January’s final in Birmingham.

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.
