The U16 CBL Prime Division final is set, pitting the Brent Panthers against the Southwark Legends in a rematch of last year’s championship game.
Brent, the defending champions, won convincingly last season 73-57. Their victory was powered by Ocean Brobbey’s dominant 26-point, 15-rebound performance. With Brobbey no longer on the team, this year’s matchup looks to be more evenly matched.
Southwark’s hopes rest on guard Hayden Edwards-Meade, who has emerged as one of the division’s top talents. His quickness and scoring ability will be key if the Legends hope to claim the title.
Brent counters with a strong backcourt of their own. Kailyn Panchal-Bedward, a versatile combo guard, has flown under the radar but possesses the skills to impact the game at multiple levels. He’s paired with point guard Kyran Palmer, whose athleticism and leadership drive the Panthers’ attack.
Both teams also feature promising frontcourt players with potential college futures, adding another layer of intrigue to this championship matchup.
