GB Senior Women’s Roster for Must-Win Montenegro Game Confirmed

By Sam Neter on February 24, 2016

Senior Women’s Head Coach, Jose Maria Buceta has selected the 12 players who will take to the court for tonight’s FIBA EuroBasket Women 2017 qualifier against Montenegro in Manchester.

Eleven of the team who participated in last Saturday’s one-sided success against Albania are back on board.

The one change to the line-up sees debutante Mollie Campbell step aside for the experienced Chantelle Handy, who was rested for the Albania clash as a precaution due to a minor thigh injury.

Teenager Kyla Nelson of Brixton Topcats is the other player to miss out from the 14-strong candidate list.

Great Britain’s 12-player roster v Montenegro:

Dominique Allen (Chemcats Chemnitz, GER)
Ella Clark (Gernika Bizkaia, ESP)
Stef Collins (Cardiff Met Archers, GBR)
Chantelle Handy (Pinkk Pesci 424, GBR)
Nicole How (Sydney Uni Flames, AUS)
Georgia Jones (Leicester Riders, GBR)
Jo Leedham (Tango Bourges, FRA)
Helen Naylor (Westfield Health Sheffield Hatters, GBR)
Eilidh Simpson (CD Zamarat, ESP)
Azania Stewart (Campus Promete, ESP)
Jamila Thompson (Cref Hola, ESP)
Rachael Vanderwal (Gernika Bizkaia, ESP)

Tonight’s game at the National Basketball Performance Centre at Belle Vue Sports Village tips off at 7pm and fans can purchase tickets on the door.

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.
