U22 European Championships
Adana, Turkey
02 - 11 July 2008

Great Britain 56 - France 25

GB won its final game of the championships today against France. Our numbers were dwindling with Simon & Robbie sidelined & Lee injured yesterday after a fall.

1st quarter - 16 - 5. We started Matt, Helen, Nat, Kyle & Tom. The players looked lethargic, partly tired from yesterday & partly due to playing the same team again & nothing to play for. After a slow start we did get going through Matt.
Scorers - Matt 12, Kyle 4

2nd quarter - 6 - 6. As yesterday, following changes to the line up, our scoring dried up & both teams managed only 6 points each
Scorers - Terry 4, Kyle & Laurie 2 each

3rd quarter 14 - 11. The French made a come back & played some good offence. Our younger players defensive experience showed.
Scorers - Helen 6, Kyle 7, Maddie 1 from the freethrow line

4th quarter 20 - 3. We played our best basketball in this quarter, once again we wanted to get everyone on the scoresheet. Nat made a couple of baskets half way through the quarter & the only person left was Tom. After missing a number of shots, then receiving the ball with just seconds left, he made a 3 on the buzzer.
Scorers - Kyle 5, Matt & Natt 4, Lauriie & Harry 2 & Tom 3

A disappointing tournament in the circumstances but a good experience for the younger players & something for us to build on for the future
