U20 League

After months of preliminary matches, and build up of the Under 20 Basketball Competition in Honiara, the Andel club has become the new champions. With a team competing in Wednesday's Grand Finals of the Mens division, the stage was set for Andel's biggest day of the year.

The Men final featured Sunrise taking on Andel in a great atmosphere at the Multi Purpose Hall full of cheering and music. Sunrise lead the match early thanks to some sharp shooting from Mark Mataki, but were soon overtaken by Andel due to a strong inside presence from the twin towers, Leon and Moses. Throwing everything at Andel in the second half, Sunrise could not seem to get back within 5 points, and the last quarter score blew out from what was a very close and competitive game.
Andel Coach Ever Pongi could not have been happier with the result. "It's a great achievement for some very special young basketball players, they have all worked extremely hard to this point and played as a team to win the game against high quality opposition such as Sunrise" said Ever after Men's final.

Andel - Sunrise: 63-45
Andel: Leon 27pts, Moses 11pts, Billy 9pts.
Sunrise: Marka 25pts, Phillip 6 pts, Junior 6pts.
