The last full day of camp brought the players their last day training exercises. Though it wasn't long before they were headed back to the courts for their final team games. Coach Phil Mcgloughlin's team the Propellers won the Red rose conference, while Coach Tom Stansfield's team the Comets won the White Rose conference with a extremely exciting buzzer beater win.
After lunch it was time for some individual competitions. We managed to catch the 3 point tournament with both the junior and senior conference having some great talent, making some very impressive shots under pressure.
As the end of the day approached it was time for the All star games and the traditional coaches verses campers match. Even though the game was both exiting and intense like tradition the coaches managed to keep hold of their undefeated title with a win of 21 - 13. Better luck next time campers.
After dinner the campers started to make their way to the university of Chichester's SU for the end of camp disco. Not only did the players get to have a chance to have some more fun and relax after a long week of hard work, but the disco was a great opportunity for our champions to receive their winning medals. Coaches also gave out awards to one hard working player in each of their teams presenting them with their very own Eurocamp t-shirt. Lastly just before the music started the campers got a chance to watch this years camp montage.
We hope you enjoyed Eurocamp Chichester 2015 as much as us! We will see you all again next year for just as much fun and basketball!
