Women In Redz Top

Dynamic Redz are the new winners of the 2015 Easter Basketball Championship. This was after they defeated Chosen 22-24 in a thrilling final at the Vodafone Arena yesterday. Dynamic Redz manager Angie Kainamoli said the four years of hard work had really paid off.

“The feeling right now is just amazing because this is the biggest achievement for us since we have been together for four years,” she said. “We took part in the Easter Basketball Championship and made it to three finals but didn’t win. So to win here today is a feeling that I cannot describe. “Seeing the way they handled themselves under pressure was a proud moment for me and I can say that this competition has really helped the girls grow. And this win goes out to all our supporters and to everybody in Raiwaqa.”

Redz dominated the first three quarters leading 11-7, 13-8 and 20-10 respectively leaving Chosen to play catch up.

In the final quarter, Chosen caught up as the girls showed more effort in closing the gap 17-20 at one stage.

The scores were tied up at 22-22 with brilliant three pointers coming in from Chosen but the Redz showed that they could handle the pressure and managed to shoot two points to win 24-22. Meanwhile, New Caledonia based Society Sports Independent (S.S.I) was the new men’s winners as they made an impressive comeback to beat Boston White 22-18.
