CBL FINAL 2024/25 - Extended highlights: New City College kings!

Описание: New city College 68-54 The Sheffield College

Like Copleston High School in the WEABL Final, New City College used the 2024/25 season to secure a first solo crown, beating The Sheffield College 68-54.

Joint-winners in 2019/20, the Group B champs capped off a perfect season, going 14-0 in regulation with three playoff victories, to be left celebrating at the final buzzer, keeping their Northern opponents at arm's length for most of this year's showpiece.

The game turned on a pivotal third quarter. With early baskets, Sheffield were buoyed by being able to tie things up at 31-31, the first time the teams had been level since the opening frame. That was as good as it would get for the South Yorkshire programme though, with NCC eventually taking the third 19-11 to build a lead they'd never relinquish.

That advantage would top out at 19 early in the fourth, and barring a late fightback from Sheffield that brought the difference down to nine, New City were good value for their win.

For the second year in a row, Tyresse Poku-Mensah grabbed the final's MVP award. The explosive guard closed with a game-high 20 points to go with 12 rebounds and the double-double, tacking on four assists and a pair of steals.

Reuben Haynes (15pts, 6reb) and Ocean Brobbey (10pts, 8reb) both played well in support, with regular-season MVP Devontae Dacosta (9pts, 9reb) finishing just shy of a double-double despite shooting 3/15 from the field.

Charlie Stoddart and Miklos Zalavari both closed with a team-high 15 points for Sheffield, with the latter adding nine rebounds and seven assists in the loss.
