London and North West faced off again in the Regional Development Tournament final for U15 Boys and again, London were victorious after their 86-63 win on Sunday in Nottingham.

 

The win gives London back-to-back titles at this age group after winning the 2011 tournament in Nottingham.

 

British Basketball Head of Performance Warwick Cann said:

 

"Clearly the U15 Boys Regional Development Tournament impressed all with the improved quality and standard of play produced.

 

“I believe there has been great progress with standards and quality for both players and coaches at this level.

 

“Over the weekend I had many comments offered to me by good judges of basketball commenting on the noticeable standard improvement in 12 months for this age group. The team offence and the offensive technical skills have improved greatly across all regions and I think the Area Performance Centres (APC) have been a major contributor to this. They have been well supported in most cases by the regional coaches with good preparation periods.

 

“I was very happy and satisfied but obviously it’s a work in progress and is only the start of a longer development phase. However, most importantly, well done and thanks to all APC and regional coaches."

 

Jack Burnell from the East won the ‘British Shooting Competition’ hitting 17 of 22 elbow jumpshots.
