Britain's best battle it out in Europe!

The 7th-8th March saw four GB club teams head overseas to battle it out across Euro Leagues 1 and 2.

In Division 1, Group A, the RGK UoW Sporting Club Rhinos opened the competition in Germany where they took on Hyeres Handi Basket, the French team coming out on top by 75-53. Returning to court in the evening, the Rhinos bounced back as they kept their cool to edge out a 68-65 victory against Italy’s GSD Anmic Sassari. Day 2 then saw the Wolverhampton-based team consolidate the win as they took a 65-50 triumph against Padova Millennium Basket – featuring GB’s Mark Scholefield. The team was then up against another familiar face in their final match of the event where they battled hosts and GB Joe Bestwick’s club RSV Lahn-Dill.  A strong performance from RSV Lahn-Dill saw the team finish the tournament undefeated as they shot to an 86-46 win over the Rhinos; nevertheless, the Rhinos earlier performances secured the team a well-deserved spot in the André Vergauwen Cup which will be held in Spain from the 24th-27th April.

Meanwhile, in Group A of Division 2, the GB Coyotes lined-up against revered opponents in Switzerland. Starting their campaign against France’s Le Cannet, the Coyotes put on a gritty display but it was their opponents who took the win by 78-37. The team’s final game of the first day saw them take on KIK Zmaj Gradacac, the latter coming out on top by 81-42.  On Saturday, the Coyotes first match saw them take on the eventual group winners, RSB Team Thüringen who shot their way to a 69-22 triumph. Closing the competition against hosts Pilatus Dragons, the Coyotes once again battled hard but it was the Swiss team who took the win by 77-24.

In Group B of Division 2 the Sheffield Steelers opened with a nail-biter in France – holding their nerve to take a 75-74 victory over KKTC Turkcell. The Steelers’ second game was another close affair, but this time it was their opponents – hosts Meylan Grenoble – who took the win, 75-66. Day 2 saw an early start for the Sheffield side as they got the day’s action underway against B. H. Haifa in a game that came down to just four points, the French team taking it 62-58. The Steelers final game saw them tip off against the group’s winners, Roller Bulls, and it was the German team who took the win by 69-53 on their way to the clean sweep.

France was also host to the Oldham Owls as they battled it out in Group C of Division 2. In their first match on Friday afternoon, the Owls fought hard against the Koln99ers but it wasn’t quite enough to prevent their opponents from taking it by 58-45. The Owls’ second game of the day proved to be a real nail-biter – the Oldham team taking the win against host Leopards de Guyenne Bordeaux by two points, 64-62. Day 2 saw the Owls get their morning off to the perfect start as they raced to a 76-65 victory against Club Tregorrois handisport de Lannoion. Then, in their final game of the event, the Owls soared to a 69-37 triumph over Les Aigles de Meyrin. This meant that the Oldham Owls ended the competition tied on three wins apiece with both the Leopards de Guyenne Brodeaux and the Koln99ers. On points’ difference, it was the Leopards who clinched first place, the Koln99ers with second, and the Owls with third – therefore qualifying for the Challenge Cup in Spain from the 24th-27th April.

In addition to the above team efforts, the tournament also saw individual successes with the following British players receiving the All-Star accolade in their respective group:

• Mark Fosbrook (RGK UoW Sporting Club Rhinos)
• Amy Conroy (GB Coyotes)
• James MacSorley (Sheffield Steelers)
• Pete Finbow (Oldham Owls)

Further more, the following GB Men’s Squad members qualified for the next EuroCup rounds with their European clubs:

• Ian Sagar (Briantea84) – Champions Cup
• Martin Edwards (Briantea84) – Champions Cup
• Abdi Jama (RSC Rollis Zwickau) – Champions Cup

On saturday 8th of March,the club travelled up to Sevenoaks with our 2nd Junior to box this season.With only 3 days notice SHANTO KHAN was to take on a lad from Sevenoaks in his 1st bout...Big respect to Shanto as he was involved in a very hard bout which saw both boys fight til the end in a very close bout..Both lads were totally drained of any energy left and it was purely down to Shanto`s fighting heart that pulled him through and gained him a split decision on the judges cards.So a win it was and another of Bexhill ABC`s boxers started his dream of winning one of what we hope will be many to come..  

On 23rd of Feb LIAM FISHER was having his 1st bout for us down at Bogner.All went accordingly for 2 rds with Liam avoiding and slipping most of his opponents punches by jabbing himself to an early lead and forcing an 8 count on the lad.The referee had to warn Liam for losing his mouth piece 2 times in the 2nd round.All Fisher had to do was up his workrate a little for the final rd and in our opinion had the bout finished,would of been a clear winner on points.But unfortunately Liam`s mouthguard came out again in the 3rd and the ref disqualified him with only 15 seconds left until the bell..So his chance of a debut win was shattered by a gumshield,but he acknowledged that this was all experience which will stand him in good stead ready for his future bouts and accepted it well and has been training each session since it happened,ready to put right his mistakes..BAD LUCK LIAM..onwards & upwards mate..

A comprehensive win in his top of the table clash with Ross McIntosh saw Norman Cummings secure his first Henderson League title. Opening with a one at the first end and then a two at the second the match was effectively over when Norman added four at the fourth. The teams swapped ones at the fourthand fifth ends and when Norman took a five at the sixth the skips shook hands on a 13 - 1 victory for Norman.

At the other end of the table Alan Faulds fate was sealed when he went down 7 - 3 to Stuart Milne, a result which sees Stuart leapfrog Ross McIntosh and move into second place. Initially the match was a tight affair with only one being scored at each of the first six ends, Stuart winning four and Alan two, but a three at the seventh sealed the win for Stuart.

In the final match George McNeil overcame David Hewitt 8 - 6. After six ends it was all square, David countering George's three ones and a two with a two and a three but then in what proved to be the decisive end George picked up a three of his own which David could not match at the final end.

Results: Norman Cummings 13 - 1 Ross McIntosh, Alan Faulds 3 - 7 Stuart Milne, George McNeill 8 - 6 David Hewitt
