The Katlehong Sports Complex (Huntersfield Stadium) hosted the Ekurhuleni Basketball Association (EBA)’s Women’s League play-offs, on Saturday, July 26.<\/p>\n

The league started early this year, on April 26, and is made up of six teams which, in turn are made up of school children from different parts of Ekurhuleni.<\/p>

“One of EBA’s objectives for school leagues is to give players a fighting chance and prepare them for higher levels, such as provincial and national,” said EBA chairman Nhlanhla Zikalala.<\/p>\n

Zikalala also told the GCN that such leagues show schools also have a platform and take part in leagues.<\/p>

The six teams are Pelicans, Spartan Breeze, Sir Pierre van Ryneveldt High School, Chosen Few, Katlehong Hearts and Spartan Bees.<\/p>\n

Although other teams were there, vying for third to sixth positions respectively, they played their hearts out as if they were all in the finals.<\/p>\n

Spartan Breeze were crowned the new champions of the Ekurhuleni Basketball Association’s Women’s League 2014, while Pelicans came in second place and Katlehong Hearts took third place.<\/p>\n
