WBC Round 3: Wellington results
WBC Wellington Round 3 Draw
The Harbour Breeze, Canterbury Wildcats, Otago Gold Rush, Waikato Wizards and Taranaki Trojans will battle it out for the
title at the final tournament of the Women’s Basketball Championship next month.
The five teams will make up the championship section for the three-day tournament at Wellington’s Southwest Stadium from August
20-22, culminating the inaugural three-tournament WBC.
The Breeze, back-to-back tournament winners in Harbour in June and Dunedin last weekend, topped the standings with the maximum 40 points after the first two tournaments, with a clear gap back to second.
The Wildcats, after third and fifth-place finishes, head up the logjam behind Harbour on 28 points, the next five teams separated by
six points. The Gold Rush and Wizards sit on 26 points, while the Trojans snuck into the top-five on 24, ahead of the Wellington Swish on
22.
Taranaki were a long-shot to make the championship section before the Dunedin tournament but a second-place finish, coupled with the
Swish’s poor seventh-place performance, saw them leap three teams in the standings.
The Swish will compete with beaten Harbour finalists, the Waikato Cougars, NZ Academy, GABBA Gators and Hutt Valley in the plate section
in Wellington, with the first-placed team meeting the fifth-placed championship section team for the plate title.
