Inter-Lane Basketball In Raiwaqa
The Raiwaqa Inter-lane Basketball Easter Competition continues at Ed’s Court yesterday.
Eleven teams are vying for a spot to play in the National Basketball Championship.
Tournament organiser Roden Colata said the tournament was very competitive and it was good to see young players participating.
Colata said they were also very fortunate to receive funding from the Fiji National Sports Commission.
“It is good to see teams competing to qualify for the National Basketball Championship,” he said.
“New teams like Milverts have students from Jai Narayan College.
“But more sponsorship is needed since basketball has always been considered a minor sport in Fiji.”
Colata said the date and venue of the National Basketball Championship will be confirmed later. Competition continues today.
Results: Browning 36 – 23 Davui, Bryce 29 – 34 Spowart, Jazz 53 – 44 Crossroads, Milverts wbd Macpacers, Davui 35 – 24 Browning.
