Basketball team continues unbeaten streak


The Sixth Form basketball team kept up their 100% winning streak in the U19 Oxon Schools League this season by posting their 3rd successive victory, this time against Burford School.

A lengthy Christmas lay-off (and possibly exam stress) showed as d’Overbroeck’s started extremely slowly. The team failed to find any real rhythm or urgency in the first half, and when into the break just one point up 8-7.

Half time allowed an opportunity for reflection and the team pulled it together in the second half, showing their superiority over a gallant yet inexperienced Burford team. In a low scoring match d’Overbroeck’s stretched out to a 10point lead and held on to the end.

Final Score
d’Overbroeck’s 29
Burford 19

Man of the Match went to Roman Sokolovs for his first points of season with two excellent offensive rebounds and well as his solid work in defence.
