The Premier A Basketball team played their first game in the Premier Mens League last night against the Mumba Stags.  The team was a mixture of experience and youth who were looking to set their mark on the competition; they certainly did that.

It was an even match.  At half time, nothing separated the teams and when the full time hooter went scores were again tied, sending the game into five minutes extra time.  Both teams had chances and created leads but no points were put on the board and so were given another five minutes of extra time.  The Prem A's had a small lead going into the final minute, but the game was far from over as both teams fought for that pivotal moment, which eventually came as the hooter sounded and the ball made its way towards the hoop - 3 points!  Unfortunately not for the Prem A's as they lost the game 101 - 102.

It was an excellent game of basketball, and the team more than proved they would be competitive this year.
