Tauihi Basketball Aotearoa

Saturday, October 24

Southern Hoiho will take on Tauranga Whai at the Edgar Centre on Saturday at 7.30pm.

The local women's basketball team defeated Mainland Pouākai 82-75 in Christchurch last Saturday.

That result extended Hoiho's winning streak to four games and moved them into sole possession of first place on the competition ladder.

Having defeated Tauranga Whai 67-59 in Tauranga earlier this month, Hoiho will be looking to repeat that winning streak this Saturday.

A Rapid League curtain-raiser will take place at 6.30pm.
