Haringey Angels Claim U16 Girls Title – Final Four Recap

GCA Haringey Angels claimed the Under-16 National Title with a 52-46 win over Ipswich Basketball Club in the final on Sunday in Manchester.

GCA Haringey Angels’ captain Teresa Da Silva (10) and the MVP Mariam Matovu (12) saw their side through to the win, being ably supported by Jolicia Cadogan (9), and 8-a-piece from Jade Guidolin-Duncan and Aaliyah Samuels-Campbell.

“I’m really pleased with the way they played,” explained GCA Haringey Angels coach Phil Hayfield.

“They didn’t give up and scrapped hard on defence, like they’ve always done. We had a bad first quarter, but we then knocked them down and got the job done so I’m pleased.”

Ipswich skipper Ester Little scored a game-high 20 for her side with 11 rebounds, but it wouldn’t be enough.

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.
