London Regional Team victorious at U16 London Summer Series

London U15 has emphatically claimed victory in the U16 London Summer Series Tournament. Their supreme athleticism and very aggressive defence allowed the young Londoners to overcome London United [70-51], Manchester Magic[81-37] and Ujpest Budapest [103-73].

Although London United finished last after 3 defeats, they were able to stay in contention for 3 quarters and on each occasion dramatically has faded away in last 10 minutes of the game.

Daniel Szatkowski, United’s head coach was very clear with his message after the tournament: “It was definitely a very useful way of preparing us for the next season. We will have to work very hard in the next 2 months to make sure that we will be prepared for our first competition in the European Youth Basketball League”.
