St Aloysius complete undefeated season with CBL title

By Sam Neter on March 27, 2024

St Aloysius completed a perfect season by defeating CBL defending champs MK5D Shenley Brook End 78-70 in the championship final on Wednesday afternoon in Manchester.

They finished a 15-0 season after using a 16-8 third quarter to gain a cushion and fend off MK5D’s late comeback attempts.

Regular season Group C MVP Devontae Da Costa (10 points, 13 rebounds, 5 blocks) had a strong outing but it was team mate Tyresse Poku-Mensah who would secure Finals MVP honours, filling the stat sheet to the tune of 23 points, seven rebounds, four assists and four steals.

Kayden-Lee Dawkins-Ellis added another 22 points for the victors, who led from late in the first quarter through to the final buzzer.

Shenley shot 36% from the floor and were led by a 17-point, 13-rebound double from Buai Luak and William Issekya’s 15 points and 10 rebounds.

Box score.

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.
