STRONG EAGLES picked up their second consecutive victory with a 61-48 triumph over Liga Bumiputera in Group A of the Open Category of the Chung Hwa Middle School (CHMS) Alumni Association 18th Anniversary Basketball tournament last night at the Brunei Basketball Association court in Batu Bersurat.

Former Barracudas, Xavier Fong, topscored for Strong Eagles by pouring in 16 points while Goh Boon Tiong and Lim Kok Shien added 12 and 11 respectively in the victory.

Hj Md Rahmat Hj Suhaili scored the game-high of 21 points to pace Liga Bumiputera to the losing cause.

The lead was, however, short-lived as Strong Eagles responded by switching gears to go on the break to score.
