| It was a memorable Sprite Memorial Independence Tournament |
Bokamoso South continued their incredible
start to the 2016/17 basketball season by winning the 2016 Sprite Memorial
Independence Tournament this weekend at Lehakoe Club.
The new kids on the block were in stunning
form once again as they won all four of their games to capture the men’s tournament
ahead of national league champions, KTA All Stars.
Bokamoso South made a brilliant start to
their Memorial Independence Tournament campaign by beating favourites KTA 50-46
in a hotly contested encounter on Saturday.
They didn’t look back and defeated
Leseli 50-30, Bashana Baheso 52-42 and Khubestate 42-27 to top the final standings
of the round robin tournament. KTA finished second with their only defeat in
four outings coming at the hands of winners Bokamoso South.
Bokamoso South had many stand out
performers but it was Nako Mofube who won the competition’s MVP award.
The top two in the women’s section was
also the same. However, this time around KTA All Stars finished ahead of
Bokamoso South with Nthabeleng Mohale from Tigers named as the competition’s
MVP.
Bokamoso South have also made a
blistering start to the National Basketball League (NBL) season and are top of
the standings with five wins from five games. The league continues on Tuesday.

To the Vodacom Premier League and LMPS
are the new leaders of the league after the weekend’s action. LMPS beat Rovers
2-0 on Saturday to provisionally go to top of the league. And when Kick4Life lost
to Sky Battalion on Sunday, Semunye’s
place as top dogs for at least a week was confirmed.
Elsewhere in the weekend’s action,
champions Lioli made it two wins from two games with a 2-0 triumph over
Liphakoe on Sunday. The win lifted Tse Nala into third place in the standings,
just three points behind leaders LMPS.
It was also a significant weekend for
Likhopo as the Red Army notched their
first win of the season with a 2-1 victory over Butha-Buthe Warriors in
Maputsoe on Saturday while LCS and LDF played to a goalless draw on the same
day.
