JD Ball Out 3x3 Tour: Essex, Manchester winners confirmed ahead of finals - gallery

The stage is set for the 2023 JD Ball Out 3x3 Finals at Finsbury Park next weekend.

With London and Birmingham already in the books, the final participants have been confirmed with the completion of the Essex and Manchester tour stops over the weekend, with the winners from each category along with additional qualifiers sealing their places at the showdown in the capital.

The Essex event moved indoors at St John Payne School in Chelmsford to dodge the wet weather affecting the outdoor courts at Writtle University, though a broken basket, courtesy of an over-enthusiastic dunker, gave the organisers a few new headaches.

The National Basketball Performance Centre in Manchester hosted the final leg of the tour, which takes place in partnership with Basketball England.

The national champions will be crowned at Finsbury Park on Saturday and Sunday.
