⭐🏀PLATINUM SEASON🏀⭐
In the summer season of this year, the Whyalla Basketball Association will celebrate 70 years! Our 70th anniversary gives cause for us to reflect and remember our legacy - seventy years of teamwork, triumph, heartbreak, and history. To remember the clubs, the players, the faces, and characters who all came beforehand, that helped create this association.

And as such, as part of our celebrations, we are reinvigorating the SENIOR TRI-SERIES CUP. 🏆

A senior competition held here in Whyalla, between Whyalla, Port Augusta & Port Pirie. The idea of this is to open our platinum season with a basketball showcase, to display the senior talent in our region and allow our best players to compete and represent our town at a higher level.

So save the date for the Tri-Series Cup:
📌SATURDAY 11th OCTOBER📌
And watch this space – for more information and nostalgia to come!
