Stars dethrone Mont Fleuri, PLS Hawks retain title
MBU Rockers Nigel Sinon (174-G) picked up the runners-up trophy and stared at the winners cup in Rodney Lozs hands, probably thinking this piece of silverware could have been theirs had they not let the Hawks beat them at the death.
PLS Hawks ran out lucky 96-91 winners in Saturdays final at Victoria Gymnasium to retain the mens Curtain-raiser title, while Anse Etoile Stars dethroned Mont Fleuri with a 53-45 win in the womens game.
The winners and runners-up received their cups from National Sports Council chief executive Alain Volcre, who was himself a basketballer in his younger days and also coach of the countrys womens team.
Mr Volcre was happy with what he saw on Saturday, describing the mens match as very entertaining.
MBU Rockers have surely made a lot of progress, but still have to work on their defence. I believe this years league competition will be very interesting to watch and follow, added the NSC boss.
