BASKETBALL
The 2013 basketball season got underway with a great deal of excitement
as the long awaited Indoor Centre was
ready for use. The fact that basketball had a home added to the commitment and enjoyment shown by the
players both at practice and matches.

The 1st team played an exciting style
of basketball and this attracted a great
deal of support from the College boys.
Their coach, Arnold Moseya, is to be
congratulated on ensuring that his team
played as a unit and yet were able to
express themselves as individuals.

The 1st team had a very successful
term only losing to DHS who had just
returned from winning the U/19 tournament held at St John’s . The highlight
of the season was our first night game
played against St Charles’. The atmosphere and support at the game created
a vibe and energy last experienced at
games played against Alex at the YMCA.
