CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS BASKETBALL FINALS 2024
Well done to our super seven basketballers⛹️♀️⛹️♂️, who having won the South Tyneside Finals in March progressed to compete against the other 5 area winning teams. It was a high class event with some talented players on display.
In our first match, despite dominating play and having many opportunities to score could not quite find the basket we so desperately deserved, before conceeding in the final 3 seconds, against the run of play against Northumberland Champions Ovingham Middle School (0-2).
Next we bounced back with a convincing performance to run out 10-0 winners vs. Sunderland Champions Richard Avenue. Lee-Jay scoring a hatrick, Corey and Lucas scoring 1 basket each.
In our third match we didn’t perform to our best losing 4-0 to Newcastle Champions St. Alban’s.
But in our final two matches we raised our game, marked very well and created lots of attacking opportunities. We won 8-0 vs. North Tyneside Champions Ivy Road, Lucas scoring 2 wonderful layups, Oliver and Lee-Jay scoring too.
In our final game we won 4-0 vs. Gateshead Champions Glynwood with Rhea and Corey scoring 1 basket each.
Sadly it was not quite enough to progress, despite having scored the most baskets in the tournament convincingly, as well as the best goal difference, we were ranked 3rd.
In an uneventful final St. Alban’s won 2-1 on a penalty shootout vs. Ovingham Middle, after a 0-0 draw.
St. Alban’s (Newcastle)
Ovingham Middle (Northumberland)
Stanhope (South Tyneside
Ivy Road (North Tyneside) 4th
Glynwood (Gateshead) 5th
Richard Avenue (Sunderland) 6th
Congratulations to our team – so proud of your efforts and dedication to training over the past 4 months.
