Ireland U16 Women

Mojan Malek finished the classification stage with a commanding 22 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 5 steals and 1 block in 26 minutes, shooting 8 of 16 from the floor and 3 of 7 from three-point range. Our GB U16 Women's side put Ireland away with a 91–63 win in Ioannina, a 28-point margin that reflected the gap in class across the two squads. The result concludes our campaign in Division B. Malek's two-way work — the steals and rebound volume alongside the scoring efficiency — typified what it took to win convincingly at this level, and her presence in the second half made the outcome less competitive than it ever looked like being. A functional finish to the tournament for the group.

Great Britain's U16 Women never trailed in a 28-point rout of Ireland, establishing complete control from the opening tip and turning the classification game into a one-sided affair. Our GB led 31–12 after the first quarter and extended that advantage to 48–29 by half-time. Ireland mounted a brief second-quarter push, rattling off 11 unanswered points mid-period to cut the deficit to 18, but it proved too little to shift the momentum. Great Britain's third quarter was decisive: a 25-point haul stretched the lead to 31 points at 73–42, effectively settling the contest. Ireland salvaged some pride with a 19-point fourth quarter, but the outcome had long been decided by then. Mojan Malek led our GB with a commanding double-double: 22 points on 8/16 shooting, 10 rebounds, 5 steals and a block. Chantelle Okoli added 20 points on efficient 5/10 two-point shooting and 8/10 free throws, while Sytira Smith chipped in 10 points on a perfect 1/2 from the field and 8/11 from the stripe. For Ireland, Sorcha Kelly's 14 points on 5/6 free-throw accuracy was their brightest spark, though the wider offensive struggles—Ireland shot just 25% from three-point range—proved fatal against a GB side that shot the ball with precision throughout.
