Two of our basketball teams have secured places in the national finals of the Basketball England Premier Schools competition later his month.

The Liverpool Blue Coat School travelled over 240 miles down to London last Friday, March 17, to face off against St Bonaventure’s in a repeat of last year’s semi-final action for a play at the 2017 Final at stake for both sides.

 

The final score was a mighty 100-56 ensuring a place in the  Under 16 finals in Leicester for the fourth year running for the team.

Well done lads.

This news comes hot on the heels of our Year 9  squad win against Northampton School for Boys.

The team travelled up to the Midlands brimming with confidence after an encouraging encounter in a service station on the M1 motorway when a member of the public was very complimentary of our students’ behaviour and politeness. They were rewarded with KrispyKreme doughnuts all round which set the scene beautifully for their day.

At the end of an exhausting match, the score was a resounding 90 – 34 victory that earned them a trip to the finals in Leicester on May 30.

Huge congratulations to everyone involved.

Many thanks to Coach Onireti and Mr Senior for their continued support and the best of luck on March 30.
