Curtain Falls on Savannah Conference Saturday

ZENITH BANK BASKETBALL

The qualifiers for the Zenith Bank sponsored National Women Basketball ends on Saturdayas curtain falls on the weeklong preliminaries at the Savannah Conference.   

This qualifying contest organised by the Nigeria Basketball Federation is taking place at the Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria, with only six teams on parade.

They are; Nigeria Customs,  Nigeria Army, Plateau Rocks, Air Warriors, Nasarawa Amazons and Kada Angels.

So far, Customs have been outstanding by winning all the five games. On Monday, customs defeated home team Kada Angels 78-32. Earlier, Customs whipped Air Warriors 73-47, Plateau Rocks 53-45, Nasarawa Amazons 90-51 and Nigeria Army 66-30.

Interestingly, because of the number, Customs and all the five other teams will move to the national finals sponsored by Zenith Bank except the NBBF says otherwise.

Group Managing Director of Zenith Bank, Ebenezer Onyeagwu, said the organization was all set to make this year’s league exceptional.

“We are aware the NBBF has made the format more interesting with the preliminaries and so all plans have been concluded to make the ladies enjoy themselves in this competition.

“This is our flagship sports competition and we expect this edition to be a big upgrade to the past ones.”

The NBBF is expected to announce the date and format of the 2023 Women league soon.
