Youngsters from Bedfordshire Lions U17s roared to success for the second year running by claiming double gold in the league and play-off competitions.

And, in a repeat of last year's final, the Lions met Shenley who they beat 24-19. Lions dominated the floor, with strong rebounding from Olabiyi Bolinwah and Jordan Stewart along with great ball control and finishing by Josh Lydon and Connor Washington.
The squad was: Reiss Haggith, Washington, Kyle Hinckley, Ambrose Muzawazi, Mataeusz Lesniak, Sumaila Kotomah, Devon Moore, Bolarinwa, Michael Chinedum, Lydon and Stewart.
