Bristol Storm Under 18s took part in the Euro Youth Cup in Blanes Spain over the weekend of June 17th-20th.  The first game was a tough fought victory versus Vilnius Basketball, a very large and successful Lithuanian club, overcoming a 9 point 4th quarter deficit to win by 3.  Games 2 and 3 were against local Spanish Clubs.  Unfortunately one team couldn’t make it so that was a walk over victory, and game 3 saw Storm dominate from start to finish ensuring all players got quality court time.  This set up a quarter final versus UK Prem side Surrey Rams.  Surrey was a very tough and skilled team, however Storm prevailed putting them in the finals versus a USA Select team called PHD Hoops.  Both PHD Hoops and Storm went into the finals unbeaten.  PHD Hoops, led by a 2 time Junior College National Champion Coach, was an extremely athletic and talented team.  Neither team could really take control of the game, and the score would remain close throughout the entire game with Bristol Storm ultimately taking the Championship game 68-62 securing their first ever European Championship Trophy!
