Tamaki Int. - Week Five Mid Week Update

Our Girls Basketball team defended their Eastern Zone Girls title at ASB Stadium Today. They proved strong in pool play going on a run of five consecutive victories against Farm Cove Intermediate 18-7, Ellerslie School 22-4, Howick Intermediate 19-10, Pakuranga Intermediate 20-6 and St Heliers School 22-9. In the semi-finals we came up against the highly rated Remuera Intermediate team. Remuera took control in the first half taking a 18-8 lead. The second half was very tight with not many scoring opportunities and the teams only scoring a basket each! The other semi-final our friends at BBI Intermediate defeated Farm Cove before BBI proved their class in a tight final defeating Remuera 9-5. A worthy win from the deserved Eastern Zone Girls Basketball Champions for 2008. Our Girls gained some fantastic experience prior to the nationals in September, against some top opposition.
