Congratulations to the WBA community for a well organised and promoted event. Also congratulations to the WBA community for supporting this event. A great encouragement for all involved.

Two of the best basketball games I have seen for a while well done to both teams and well umpired

Wow, what a finish to an amazing day of games and events! Our Whyalla Steelers took out both the men’s and women’s grand finals 🏆🏆🤩🤩

We’ll have plenty of photos and coverage tomorrow, but in the meantime, enjoy Torsten’s massively clutch free throws after the 4th quarter buzzer to force overtime in the men’s GF, plus the last few minutes of OT.

Unfortunately a nasty late injury to the Devils’ Kayden Bejah resulted in a premature end to the game, but it doesn’t detract from the awesome effort of our players taking home the trophy. Our thoughts go out to Kayden – we wish you a speedy recovery.

Thanks to all the players, coaches, umpires, volunteers and spectators for a brilliant tournament – stay tuned for more!
