Basketball Success for U’16s

The U’16s basketball team had a comprehensive victory against local rivals King Edward VI Aston last night by 55-17 in an away friendly fixture.

The Handsworth team showed great skill in a very competitive but sporting match with some terrific basketball played by both teams. The Aston team showed great spirit but were outdone by some excellent scoring from the HGS team and in particular Bilal Saleem who scored nine baskets, Malveer Padda and Mo Mohammed who all scored well.

Gurkirat Thandi also scored his first basket of the season, and there was a welcome return to the squad for Shuja Mehmood, who also made a very valuable contribution at a critical stage of the game.

This was a fine way to end the term for a dedicated and determined team who are unbeaten this season.

The team was:

Suffian Faadl-Elahi (Captain)

Bilal Saleem

Malveer Padda

Amar Rupra

Mo Mohammed

Zain Waqar

Gurkirat thandi
