Basketball Tournament - Day 3

Day 3 of the Hamilton Filipino Basketball League as narrated by
Rene & Aljun Gorteza, WFA Sports Coordinators

A sudden twist of fate marked the middle of our basketball league as
winless teams Blue and White teams defeated their respective rivals in
last Friday's mad scramble....

A surprise victory over the Green team raised the hopes of the Blue
Team to make it further to the league. The first half of the ballgame
showcased a classic clash of styles - the Blue team pouring in
three's whilst the 007-led Green team hitting back from the close
range. However, the Blue jerseys ran away with a commanding 27-12 win.

In the second game, the White team came under the heat of the (T)All
Blacks. But the Black team seemed to sorely missed the services of
Willard S. who leads the league in defensive rebounding. Willard's
absence allowed Fajim (white's lead scorer) for a free reign and his
dominance ensured the White team's steady ball possession. In the end,
the under 18's performed like seasoned champions,winning their very
first ballgame with the score 41-35.

In the final match, the Red hot Team cruisingly eased their way to
their second win against the Yellow superstars in a high scoring
ballgame 46-39...This put them in a three way tie with Black and Green
Teams in the first place.

Many thanks to all the players who, apart from playing hard,are doing
their best to be table officials and helping in their own little way
to make this league a fun filled project. We do appreciate that.
