What a bank holiday weekend it was for our GB Maxibasketball Women’s 40+ squad!At the South Coast Classic in Southampton last weekend, our girls went out and proved exactly what they’re made of — taking home 3rd place on their very first outing together as a full squad.
The results:
GB 41 – 29 Hoops I Did It Again
GB 32 – 37 Ally Ooopsies (tournament winners 
) GB 38 – 24 Swish Squad GB 25 – 32 United Nations (runners-up 
) GB 38 – 31 The Sisterhood GB 45 – 27 Swish Squad (3rd place play-off)4 wins from 6 games. Two losses — both to the teams who went on to take gold and silver. We’ll take that! 
Coach Anita Curtis said:
“It was really good; a real challenge for the team. Lots learned and we finished 3rd, which was good considering it wasn’t a masters tournament. They did GB Maxis proud both on and off the court”
This tournament was so much more than a result — it was crucial prep ahead of the European Maxibasketball Championship in Athens this June. The team is coming together, the chemistry is building, and the best is absolutely yet to come. 
Watch this space. Athens, we’re on our way!
