Game 1 of the ladies final came and went… On one side of the court we had Montana Vikings and on the other the favourites CPUT doing battle in a very exciting game. In the first half of the game, it looked as if an upset was on the cards with the Vikings doing the running and staying in the lead throughout.

In the deciding Game 3 of the series played at UCT, the Vets showed their experience and hunger by knocking out the defending champions Montana Vikings in a game that was all about hustle. After being blown out by 20 points in Game 2, Montana Vikings were expected to make easy work of their opponents to secure a passage to the finals where they would have met CPUT. But sports has a way of showing us that if you have the hunger and the will to win anything is possible and the Vets were not going to lie down and play dead for the defending champions.

With the WCBA Playoffs a week away, CPUT finally got their act together to beat their much fancied and possible final opponents at the last round of the group stages held at UCT. Montana Vikings had played the day before and maybe fatigue managed to creep in but it was a lackluster performance, frustrating at times.
With the semi-finalists almost decided by the time the game got underway, it was a matter of getting some bragging rights before the post season started. Read the rest of this entry →
