Leopards help to make history

FOUR members of Leopards Ladies helped Great Britain under-20s make history by winning the European Championship B Division title.

Mary Durojaye, Ella Clark, Josephine Salmon and Kashmere Joseph helped GB defeat Slovak Republic 47-46 in a thrilling final in Macedonia.

Damian Jennings’ side had already clinched promotion to the top flight, but their success in the final saw them become the first British age group team to clinch a FIBA Europe title.

Durojaye finished with 12 points and six rebounds in the final and averaged 9.7 points and 6.7 boards per game in the tournament.

All four of the Leopards’ players played a part in GB’s success as they won six of their seven games, with Clark still having two more years at under-20 level and Salmon one.

Meanwhile, Jesse Chucku and Teddy Okereafor have helped England win three of their first games in the European Championship B Division is Tel Aviv.

Chucku is averaging 7.5 points and 3.5 rebounds plus an impressive 2.5 blocks per game while Okereafor is dishing out 3.5 assists, pulling down 3.75 boards and scoring two points per game for and England team who look a good bet to progress to the quarter-finals.

Leopards have now announced their fixtures for the season, and all three teams’ schedules are available on www.leopardsbasketball.co.uk.

The Big Cats open their National Trophy campaign with a home game at Brentwood against Reading Rockets on Sunday September 26 after the group stage was reorganised following the withdrawal of Taunton Tigers and London Mets.

They then face four successive away games before staging a National Cup third round game at Brentwood on Sunday October 31. A week later they play their first home Barking Abbey game of the campaign when they host Bristol Academy Flyers.

The women’s team start off in the National Cup at Oaklands College on October 9 before hosting Brixton Topcats on Sunday October 17 at Barking Abbey.

They return to Barking the following week to face league champions City of Sheffield Hatters before they make their Brentwood debut on Sunday October 31 in the National Cup.

Barking Abbey Leopards open their Division Four campaign on Sunday October 3 when they host London Feltham Warriors at Barking.

Stafford makes history for GB

LEOPARDS shooting guard Natalie Stafford has made a spectacular start to her Great Britain international career.

The 32-year-old guard scored 13 points in Saturday’s 72-50 victory against Portugal before re-writing the record-books in the following day’s 73-65 win against the same opposition.

Stafford poured in 15 points off six from seven shooting and added three steals in the first quarter to record the highest points tally in a quarter for GB.
The Australian-born guard was clearly delighted with her performance after the game: “I couldn’t make a basket in the second half but the first quarter was great. I think I jinxed myself after the first period, as I wondered just how many points I’d get.”

Harold Hill school-teacher Stafford is the biggest surprise in Tom Mayer’s squad for the qualifiers next month. The Australian played for Barking Abbey last season – finishing as the EBL Division One top scorer and regular season MVP award - as an import but is now entitled to British passport having been married to a Brit for four years – so the race is on to actually get it before GB start their qualification programme. She piped former Sheffield Hatter Steph Gandy to the one spot allowed for a naturalised player.

Fellow Barking Abbey player Harriett Yea played for GB under Leopards’ director of coaching Mark Clark before the clubs merged, but has missed out on a place in this year’s squad, while Joe Ickhinmwin played for GB under-20s while with the Big Cats.

Meanwhile, four Leopards’ players have helped GB under-20 women to an encouraging start in the European Championship B Division in Macedonia.
Ella Clark, Josephine Salmon, Mary Durojaye and Kashmere Joseph have all played their part in GB’s wins against Hungary and Macedonia.

Durojaye has been particularly impressive, averaging 9.7 points and 6.7 rebounds in a team-high 26 minutes per game.

Teddy Okereafor and Jesse Chuku will hope to emulate them when they travel to Tel Aviv to play for England under-18s on Thursday.
