The favourites, White Haven, were just too strong defeating Easyway Qlap 94-75 in the final on Saturday at the Brunei Basketball Association (BBA) court in Batu Bersurat.

"We had the chance of winning the game but our opponents were just too strong," said Choo Yung Jian, the captain of Easyway Qlap, in an interview with The Brunei Times after Saturday's loss.

"As a team they played better than us in every way. Their players all stepped it up to win the match," added Choo.

The last time the two sides met, White Haven also came out on top 70-54 in the Belait District Basketball Association Under-23 tournament in October.

To make matters worse for the runners-up, they only had three substitutes for the final and Choo fouled out early in the fourth quarter, finishing with 15 points, after a good start with 10 points in the opening period. Read More…
