Crest Academy take Basketball England Collegiate 3x3 crown

Crest Academy won the second annual Basketball England Collegiate 3x3 Tournament at the National Basketball Performance Centre in Manchester.

In a closely fought battle of South vs North the Londoners beat Liverpool opponents Carmel College 18-16 in overtime.

Crest Academy got the better of Three Spires 20-17 in their semi and Carmel earned their final spot by beating The Sheffield College II 21-14.

Both finalists earn an invite to next month's Academy 3x3 Finals and the chance to compete against the nation's top U19 EABL basketball talent.

The event saw 19 men's teams made up of 16-19 year-old students in further education going head-to-head across six courts of action.
