LIVE STREAM: Ipswich vs Derbyshire Gems – NBL D2 Women’s Playoff Final

By Sam Neter on April 28, 2018

Watch the live stream of Ipswich vs Derbyshire Gems in the NBL Division 2 Women’s Playoff final from Manchester’s National Basketball Performance Centre (2:15pm tip).

Having played each other three times during the North division’s regular season schedule, Ipswich have managed to take all three games. That said, the most recent game between the sides provided a narrow 78-73 Ipswich win, meaning it will be anything but easy.

Despite playing outside of the Division One this season, Ipswich have been turning heads; in January they shocked eventual Division One winners Essex Blades in the National Cup Final, beating 3 other D1 sides on their way to the big game.

They have a core of talented, young players who have been together for a number of years in the junior ranks, making them a tough team to beat regardless of the occasion.

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.
