England Under-18s won all three games at the 2023 Four Nations Tournament in a successful defence of their title.

Adam Davies’ side completed the triumph with a resounding win over Scotland on Thursday to back up previous wins over Wales and Ireland.

England opened their campaign by beating Wales 109-65 on Day 1 with Nedas Cholevinskas and Sebastian Emenalo both scoring 17 points in a dominant win.

They returned to action 24 hours later and secured a 73-62 success over Ireland having raced out to a 25-2 start in the first quarter. The lead was as large as 38 at one point, but Ireland hit back with a 25-4 third but the deficit was too much to make up.

England then recorded their third win as they controlled the middle periods on their way to beating Scotland 76-36 with Matthew Goodwin top scoring with 14 points.

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.
