ZENITH WOMEN’S BASKETBALL 

It was another bad day in the office for First Bank Women’s Basketball Team, the Elephant Girls, after suffering their second loss of the ongoing Second Phase of the Atlantic Conference of the Zenith Bank Women’s Basketball League currently taking place in Asaba, Delta State.

After going through the First Phase without a loss and starting the Second Phase with a win against IGP Queens, First bank were surprisingly defeated by Sunshine Angels in their second game.

MFM, who were the runners up of the last edition, yesterday added salt to First Bank’s injury as they inflicted another loss of 40-35 margin to boost their own chances of qualifying for the finals in Lagos later in the month.

Bayelsa Whales at the moment are topping the conference after making it three wins from three games played and will be up against MFM who also, recorded three wins in the Second Phase of the conference.

Today, First Bank will be up against already eliminated Dolphins while it will be another battle between Sunshine Angels and IGP Queens.
