France U18 win tournament in Caorle

France never looked back after a (27-9) start as they put aside Turkey (64-41) to clinch the title. Spain beat host Italy in the final match (66-55) to finish in second place.
All in all it has been a good preparation for France with 10 straight wins. They lost one match to Slovakia at the end of May. France will travel directly to Novi Sad and get ready for the championship which tips off on Friday.

Spain will still start as favourites as this generation of players have won the last three U16 Europeans and are the defending champions. Carlos Colinas has put together a strong squad and they will arrive at the venue in plenty of time. Other nations to watch out for are Serbia the hosts, Russia, Slovakia and Sweden.
