Domestic finals hosted on brand new courts

WANGARATTA Basketball Inc hosted domestic grand finals on the brand new courts at the Wangaratta Sports and Aquatic Centre on Saturday. A whopping 17 grand finals were played using the three new courts, with Wangaratta Basketball Inc securing a Place of Public Entertainment (POPE) permit to utilise the as yet unopened courts. Wangaratta Basketball Inc president Adam Maher said everyone enjoyed getting a look at the new courts. "It was really rewarding seeing the happiness on everyone's faces, particularly the kids who got to play on the new courts," Maher said. "I think a lot of the parents and spectators were just as excited as well and I know a lot of them were really appreciative of the new facility we've got. "Getting a permit to open the courts for a big day like that is a good show of faith by the council which is a credit to them. "They allowed everyone to get a taste for the new facility and hopefully it isn't too long until its properly opened." In the open age groups it was the Warriors u18 Boys 1 team who saluted in the A grade final, while Lob City won the B grade. In the open women's it was All Sorts who defeated the Lakers. Maher said there was a great feeling at the stadium. "The more space and lighter coloured floor really made for a great feeling," he said. "I had a lot of people comment on how good it looks. "We're still waiting on an official opening date but I know the council is working incredibly hard because they want to open it just as much as us. "I'm hoping that Santa brings me that date for the opening." Grand final results: *Under 10s don't play grand finals. U10 Girls: Sparks 4 drew with Storm 4.
