Tuesday, December 28, 2010



Plaza Sutera Biru's Lim Aik Hock goes for a lay-up against Teik Goldsmith during the Brunei Basketball Association Open Challenge Trophy early this year. Lim and Co will have a chance to play in a new basketball league to start next year. Picture: BT SOMETHING big and fresh is in store for Brunei basketball fans next year.

The Brunei Amateur Basketball League is in the works and is tentatively scheduled to begin in March.

Similar to the Asean Basketball League (ABL), the tournament, which is the first of its kind in the Sultanate, is open to Brunei citizens with a valid identity card and is set to run until June.

The new tourney will feature 15 games per season, with the Top Four teams making the playoffs.

Venues for the competition will be announced later but the matches should be played over a couple of different courts. Read More…
