EABL Playoff Final

CHARNWOOD COLLEGE RIDERS 64-59 CITY OF LONDON ACADEMY - SOUTHWARK

Charnwood College Riders won their fourth EABL title but were made to work for it by City of London Academy - Southwark, eventually coming through 64-59.

The final appeared to be ticking along in Charnwood's favour, with the Riders leading by as many as 18 points in the second quarter. Entering the fourth still up by 15, the 2021/22 champs were comfortable but a 16-3 run from CoLA to begin the final frame pulled the contest back to a surprising two point game with 2:50 remaining.

That brought the crowd alive for both teams as the programmes traded buckets down an exciting final stretch.

Charnwood regained their composure to get themselves over the line, thanks in part to the MVP play of Oscar Curran. Steady from the line to ice the game, the Riders guard chipped in nine points to go with an impressive ten assists and four steals, avoiding a single turnover across 33:04 of action.

Lewis Malcolm (15pts, 11reb) top scored for the winners, with Edward Oniya (7pts, 10reb, 4ast, 4blk) also putting in a strong two-way performance.

CoLA were left disappointed in their first-ever EABL final but they have plenty to build on going forward. That includes first year guard Khyle Capanzana, who had a 20 point, 10 rebound double-double. Captain Mou Wol (11pts) was the only other player to reach double digits on the score board.
