The CBL have enjoyed followingĀ the female talent in the league and so were proud to celebrate women’s basketballĀ onĀ Sunday 26th JuneĀ as theĀ Kennington GeneralsĀ took onĀ COLAĀ in the female feature game of the day.

With the crowd in full support of the women on court, the femaleĀ game of the afternoon proved to be a tightly contested affair with the Kennington Generals edging out COLA by one point to winĀ 9-8Ā and finish as this year’sĀ CBL U25 Female Champions,

 

whilst COLA came away winning theĀ CBL U18 Female Championship.Ā 

The first halfĀ sawĀ Kennington’s MVP, Natalie Paredes,Ā netĀ the first basket, but COLA hit back immediately to even out the score before tying the gameĀ 4-4Ā going into the third period.

Natalie ParedesĀ continued to pull off a strong performance in the second half, attacking the basket whilstĀ dominating in the paint to refuse COLA access to score inside.

However, South London’s double trouble,Ā Adaobi NebuwaĀ andĀ Chelsea Moukam, teamed up and played well displayingĀ fluid passing and movement on the ball, proving their need to do more for their side to take ownership of the game.

With the game constantly close throughout,Ā the deadlock was eventually broken and the baskets began to flowĀ after Kennington’sĀ Ademola OgunnowoĀ finished her lay-up with only minutes left in the game.

As the clockĀ countedĀ down, both teams traded baskets, but it wasĀ Kennington who soon slipped away with the win to finish victorious.

Game MVP, Natalie, said, “That game was a lot of fun and we played really right until the end. COLA are tough competition, but I’m glad we didn’t give up and fought hard to get the win.”

Team mate, Marta Mateus, said, “It feels great to be a girl playing basketball in the CBL as this is the best league that allows anyone to join and improve as a player. We’ve had s0 much fun this season and we’re looking forward to doing it all again next year. Watch this space!”
