MEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP UNDERWAY

Round 1 of the new LTU Men's Championship Competition began last night. The competition features some of the top basketball talent from around Melbourne.

Game 1 was played between Rick James and Inter BW. Rick James built an early lead thanks to an early inside dominance from Andrew Oliver. Inter BW's import, Neville Chivanganye asserted some interior dominance to help Inter get back in the game in the second half. However, LTU Big V star, Paul Di Marzio steadied the ship and steered the Rick James team home 69 - 62.

Scores
Rick James 69 - Di Marzio 22, Oliver 21, Crough 12
Inter BW 62 - Chivhanganye 20, Newton Farley 14, Hooke 14

Game 2 was played between Prime Time and Ya Mum. Featuring half of the LTU Big V team, Prime Time was always going to present a sizeable challenge to Ya Mum. Led by inspirational captain, Josh Croall, Prime Time proved way to strong for their inexperienced opposition, winning 98-51.

Scores
Prime Time 98 - Croall 27, Rogers 26, McCormack 25
Ya Mum 51 - Darke 18, Smith 10

The third match of the round had a very La Trobe Uni, Eltham, Diamond Valley flavour too it. The Reservoir Dogs behind the play making of Luke Egan and hot outside shooting from Dale Weston and John Lister proved too strong for the DV of Old despite some tough inside play from Danny Cullinan and Adam Moore. Cullinan has firmed to favourite to receive the leagues first tech foul!

DV of Old 81 - Moore 26, D Cullinan 22, M Cullinan 12

The final game of the night was played between Ward and And 1. With a list including former LA Laker, Sedale Threatt, former NBL star Willie Simmons and current Big V star, Mike Petridis, the And 1 team is clear favourite to take out the title. However, an undermanned Ward was determined to give the And 1 team a tough match first up. Unfortunately the legs ran out early for team Ward and they were unable to bridge the 13 point half time gap.

Scores
And 1 68 - Petridis 27, Chapelle 18, Moore 15
Ward 54 - Sturdy 19, Ward 12, Kraljevic 12
