EABL FINAL 2024/25 - Extended Highlights: Barking Abbey top dogs!

Barking Abbey 69-54 Myerscough College Barking Abbey extended their run as the EABL’s most successful programme, claiming the 2024/25 title with a 69-54 victory against Myerscough College. Just as they did when these teams last met in Manchester for 2022/23’s showpiece, BA came out on top, displaying slick execution at both ends of the court to move onto six EABL titles. In a clash of styles, with the North champs favouring a guard heavy line up against Barking’s significant height advantage, size won the day, with BA’s high-intensity defence keeping Myerscough to just 26% shooting (19/71 FGs). In keeping with the tone of the game, the MVP award went to 7’1” forward Lewis Obiorah, who was a matchup nightmare throughout as he finished with 10 points (5/5 FGs), 10 rebounds and five blocks. His +/- of +19 was the highest of any player for the East London programme, further highlighting his impact on the game. Adam Lukosevicius (16pts, 6reb) top-scored for the winners, with Amarlie Wilkinson (13pts, 10reb) providing a double-double as BA's starting five moved on to the next step of their basketball journeys in winning style. Marcus Robinson (19pts, 7reb) and Junior Sanchez (12pts, 14reb) both played well for 'Sco in defeat, with the North West programme extending their unwanted record of being beaten finalists on five separate occasions.
