England game recaps

Day 2 

England 2 boys rode to their third victory of the tournament Sunday morning, with a 96-61 point victory over Scotland Blue boys, with London Thunder's Myles Barry balling out for 24 points.

England 2 girls also won their third straight game, beating Scotland Blue 73-54. Mojan Malek scored 26, including 10 field goals. 

To finalise the first and second places in the standings, England 2 girls beat their peers in England 1 44-39 to be crowned champions, with 2 in second, and in the boys', England 2 finished top of the pile, beating England 1 56-50, but with 1 losing to Wales on Saturday meant the Welsh finished runners up. 

In the girls' All-Star 5 from the tournament, England were represented by Katie Hancock and Malek, whilst Chayana Collins-Foster was named MVP. 

For the boys, David Akhidime and Joshua Mboura were named in the All-Star 5. 

Day 1

Focusing on the U14 girls first, split into two teams (England 1 and 2), they both faced their home-nation rivals with little trepidation.

England 1 put a ton on Wales in their 09:00 fixture and England 2 did the same against Scotland White at 11:00, top scorers in those games were Kyhanna Campbell (23 points) and Summer Wilson (26), respectively. 

England 1 faced their toughest match up of the tournament against Scotland Blue after lunch, but beat them comfortably 78-54, Sheffield Hatters' Katie Hancock had 20 in this game. England 2 followed up that victory with another 100 pointer against Wales.

In the last game, England 1 signed off with a 104-23 win over Scotland White - Tiana Walker top scored with 22. 

England 1 boys' opener against Wales was a spicy game, and Welsh grit and determination got the better of Petts lads, who were beaten 53-50. Wales' Gerard Canete scored 16 for the Red Dragons.  

Winning ways were quickly resumed, however, (and winning well), with England 2 beating Scotland White 100-27, and England 1 making amends for the Welsh fumble with a 85-71 dub over Scotland Blue. 

Manchester Magic's Camran Hanson scored 34 of the ton, and Joshua Mboura kept Scotland Blue at bay with his 22.

In the 15:15 fixture, England 2 faced the spirited Wales' boys side looking to make it 2-0 against the English, but powerhouse David Akhidime scored 24 to keep England winning. 

The last game of the day for England 1 ended with Mboura top scoring again (24) in a 96-44 win over Scotland White.
