BSBL 2023: Bunbury Senior Basketball League men’s teams jockeying for positions in top four

The Bunbury Senior Basketball League men’s table is quite tight heading into January. With no junior matches held until the end of next month, senior teams will be playing two nights a week (Tuesday and Friday) following the Christmas-New Year period. As it stands, six of the eight teams — excluding Aces White (1-8) and Eaton Eagles (0-9) — have realistic hopes of playing in the finals this season. The game of the round on Friday night at the South West Sports Centre appears to be the Aces Sky-Tornadoes Black clash, with both sides needing a win to stay in touch with the sides around them. Although they have lost two of their last three games, Tornadoes Black coach Shane Goff knows how to win big games when they need to be won, which should be considered heading into the game. In the women’s competition, league leaders Tornadoes Black will go into their clash against winless Conquerors as raging favourites, while Tornadoes Red will be out for revenge against Aces Navy, following their narrow 61-58 loss back in round five. Fixtures A-Men: 7.30pm Aces Sky v Tornadoes Black, 9pm Eaton Eagles v Conquerors, Aces White v Bulls Gold, Bulls Maroon v Tornadoes Red. A-Women: 730pm Tornadoes Black v Conquerors, Tornadoes Red v Aces Navy, 8.30pm Eaton Eagles v Aces Sky.
