Vital basketball games
The Canterbury men’s and women’s basketball league teams face a testing time in the North Island this week-end, and the results will give a good line on their championship prospects. Both teams will play two matches. The men’s team plays Hamilton this evening and Napier tomorrow afternoon; the women’s team has matches against
Porirua this evening and Palmerston North tomorrow afternoon. The Canterbury men’s team is unchanged from the side which lost dramatically to DB Metro-Auckland in Christchurch last week-end. This was the side’s first reverse, but it played well on its previous two-match North Island visit and could finish the week-end with the outright lead in the Country-
wide league. Canterbury and Hamilton are, at present, two of i the five co-leaders, while Napier had its first win last week-end. Porirua, along with Nelson, leads the southern division of the Hertz league with three wins and Canterbury, after a disastrous start, will have its work cut out.
