Basketball victory

Our boys' basketball team claimed a victory over rivals Lord Williams's School, Thame, beating them comprehensively by 38-13.

Even though their opponents were big (one player reached 6'5”), St. Clare's had worked on a great offensive strategy concentrating on its starting five: Amir Amangeldi, Tinnabhand Patana-Anake, Jules Kleitman, Thomas Cox and Vitas Janukonis, and were tight on the defensive too, which meant that after half time they held a 29-9 lead.

The most valuable player of the match was awarded to Tinnabhand Patana-Anake for his defensive tenacity, huge amount of rebounds and for finding the open players. This was also the team's first game in their new kit. Vitas Janukonis scored a spectacular 27 points.
