AtoZ Athleta U16 Reach GBK Christmas Cup Final After Dominant Performances

AtoZ Athleta’s U16 boys produced an impressive series of performances at the GBK Christmas Cup, securing their place in the tournament final after a determined and disciplined run of games overseas.

The team opened their campaign against a strong and well‑structured TMB France Academy side, battling hard before narrowly falling 47–37. Despite the defeat, Athleta showed grit and competitiveness throughout, using the match as an early benchmark against high‑level international opposition.

Their response the following morning was emphatic. Facing home side Bàsquet Lloret, Athleta delivered a commanding 61–36 victory, displaying sharp execution on both ends of the court. The win secured their place in the semi‑finals later that afternoon, highlighting the team’s ability to regroup quickly and raise their level when it mattered most.

The semi‑final brought a rematch of sorts, this time against TMB France Academy Team 2. Athleta rose to the occasion with confidence and control, cruising to a 67–44 win and booking their place in the tournament final. The performance reflected the squad’s growing cohesion, depth, and determination as the competition progressed.
