U11 Basketball Tournament

Ashfold's team of eight boys & girls are runners-up at the annual Inter-Prep Basketball Tournament.

Our mixed team of eight Under 11 basketball players headed to Cranfield University last Friday to compete in the annual Inter-Prep Basketball Tournament.

Despite limited experience in the sport, the team played excellent basketball throughout, garnering praise from spectators and opposition coaches for their impressive play. The boys and girls worked well together, passing the ball wonderfully and scoring lots of baskets.

After beating every team in the tournament quite comfortably, the Ashfold team faced Broughton Manor in the final for the second year in a row. The team were unable to replicate the dominant display which brought them victory over the same opposition in the pool stages and the game went to sudden death. Although Ashfold worked hard and played the better basketball, they were downed by a Broughton Manor sudden death basket and had to settle for a nonetheless impressive second place in the tournament.

Well done to all our players!
