Side returns to court after 10 years

THE Namoli men's team made a return to basketball after a lapse of 10 years. The side which included rising star Usaia Daunivalu made an impressive start with a 12-all draw against Youngsters in the Lautoka Basketball Association competition at the multi purpose courts on Saturday.

LBA executive Simi Cagilaba said Namoli would participate in the upcoming National Championship. He said the Lautoka clubs would be a force to be reckoned with during the annual event in Suva during the Easter long weekend. "The teams were strong in the first round," Cagilaba said.

"There were some close scores. This competition will continue every Saturday. The Nadi team did not turn up. We are hoping to include a few more teams in competition. "The Namoli women's team is eyeing a return also."

Results: Men Namoli 12 Youngsters 12, Vikings 25 Namoli 20, Youngsters 22 Namoli 18, Vikings 36 Bankstown 18. Women: Vikings 22 Hangten 4.
