Our Elite U16s squad has made history, becoming the first-ever U16 team at the club to reach the Final 4!
Itโs been a tough road through the playoffs, all on the road:
Sweet 16: A hard-fought win away at Milton Keynes
Elite 8: Another gritty performance to knock off Manchester Magic on their home court
Final 4 Debut โ vs Sussex Storm ๐
Facing the winners of the Western Premier League, Sussex Storm, our young squad.had a lot to prove. Storm opened strong with a 5-0 run, but our boys stayed composed.
Also stepping up when it mattered most, young William Henderson came alive in the second half, draining two crucial 3-point shots that swung the momentum back in our favour.
The boys held firm and closed out the game, proving too much for the talented Sussex side.
Storm came out of the locker room firing and briefly took the lead early in the 4th quarter. But our resilience showed, especially through Omer Zardok, who powered the offence with an outstanding 24 efficiency rating.

London Elite are through to the NBL Final Four finals, and I couldnโt be prouder of the boys. Every player stepped up at key moments, showing heart, resilience, and the kind of togetherness that defines us. Basketball is never a straight lineโmomentum shifts quicklyโand credit to Sussex for pushing us to stay locked in right to the end.
Tomorrowโs final will be a battle between two strong sides. Weโve prepared thoroughly and are confident in our readiness, though thereโs always room to grow. Hopefully weโll make the right adjustments, continue to play our brand of basketball, and may the best team win.
