Tough double-header
In the first week-end of the Countrywide Basketball League 3ZM-Canterbury faces a tough double-header in which it meets Drake Personnel-Waitemata today and 2ZB-Centrals (Wellington) tomorrow, both at Cowles Stadium.
Canterbury will approach each game with a different attitude, but the same ultimate goal of completing the week-end with two wins. Against Waitemata Canterbury will be trying to make it three in a row. Waitemata, last year’s league champion, was beaten twice by Canter-
bury last season and the home team will be looking to make it three in a row today. In tomorrow’s match Canterbury will be trying to erase the memories of last season when it lost both at home and away to Wellington. The Canterbury coach, Murray Mackay, has named a strong team of 10 for both matches.
The team is: John Hill, Andy Bennett, Gilbert Gordon, Lance Dixon, Dave Usmar, Al Robson, John Whelan (captain). John Wright. Bede Hall. Chris Dobbs.
