Otago has fought its way through to feature at the business end of the junior national basketball competitions.

Tony Brown did not have long to dwell on the Highlanders’ quarterfinal loss.

The Highlanders hung in there for half an hour.

Caitlin Deans has continued her impressive lead-in to next month’s swimming world championships.

A furious comeback ended just short as the St Kilda Saints escaped to win Saturday’s top-of-the-table clash.

Not for the first time this season, Georgia Heffernan was a picture of composure under pressure.
