I think it's better if you do it. I don't think a new thread for each game is necessary, but it could be nice if some of us would comment before you name the MVP.

More importantly, well played. That's a tremendous first game for you. My vote, if I had one would be for Padilla, with an honourable mention for Yarwood, who did a very good impression of a basketball player.

Congrats on the first win! It's a good start this could help to get 2nd place if we not going to lose any "surprise" games. (Except Italy) .

I did think a new thread for each game would be over the top. I like the idea of rather than announcing my player of the game, stating the 'top performers' to give a variety of players that did well. Happy for people to comment who their 'player of the game' is and I can keep score of that. Likewise when it comes to the MVP I can put a list of players forward to be voted for as MVP?

Great first win, against a higher ranked team in Germany.

Thank you! Great start to the season and it does put us in a good position for the rest of the season. Georgia look pretty strong next week so I'm not guaranteeing anything yet

Hard game. congrats.

Thanks!

You have a very good team this season, you’ll do well.

Game 2 of the season saw us face another difficult test against Georgia who are a lot stronger than their rank suggests.

Georgia led for most of the game although not being able to pull away at any point other than the start of the 3rd quarter. England battled back to take a 1 point lead in to the final period. The 4th quarter continued as the quarters before with neither team being able to take control. A jump shot from SG Amarsari Singh have England a 1 point lead with 27 seconds to go. This was followed by a strong defensive effort from SF Kirby Yarwood to force a Georgian miss. The England youth showed great composure at the free throw line to see out the game and a 110-103 win.

Jonathan Hendriks and Amarsari Singh joint top scored with 25 points each, with Hendriks adding 5 rebounds and 3 assists and Singh grabbing 4 boards and getting 4 assists. Singh’s defensive skill also on show as he held the Georgian SG to a combined 5-19 shooting. C Elvin Goodhew shot 6-6 FG on his way to 13 points to go with his 9 rebounds. SF Kirby Yarwood had another strong all round game with 9 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.

England next face Andorra who have forfeited both of their first 2 games.

Maybe off topic - but about out next game Andorra . Why people taking NT and just doing ff and destroys all fun and NT system? Strange I believe it’s gonna be another ff, but its not fun.

My kind of game: 51 fouls. Singh, Hendricks and Yarwood hitting most of theirs helped us win. Singh gets my vote for reasons testudo has already given, plus he only turned the ball over once.
