CUP TOURNAMENT
Greenwich Grizzlies 43
Red Dragons 35
Our Cup Tournament took place at the Central Foundation Girl´s School, Harley Grove, Bow, London E3 2AT on the 30th January. Greenwich Grizzlies won the second Cup Tournament, having lost last year final to Elephant & Castle. This was the first silverware that this team wins in any official competition. We wish Greenwich Grizzlies a season full of victories.
Greenwich Grizzlies has founded a basketball academy in South London. They have developed their pool of players and have gathered some valuable experience in this league and in other local leagues and tournaments in the London area.
On the other hand, Red Dragons have been the runner-ups. Last season they lost the league final to Kilburn Tigers. They have a weekly practice in a local school in Tower Hamlets where they play each Thursday. Red Dragons will be a serious contender for the upcoming league tournament.
