Spartans pull another surprise move

Oh... my God....we WON...(again I may add)!!

Spartans again met and thrashed Kings Basketball Club in a local tourney organised by Arusha Basketballers and again the organizers went ahead to assume who the winners would be prior to playing the game. Prizes were dished out even before the final whistle ...but lo behold Spartan stepped in to stop this sort of arrogance AGAIN... as expected

And again ...that was before Spartans had to say something about it because in the usual Spartan style the SPARTANs conjured another surprise move (we weren't surprised) that left them again baffled and confused (they neva learn do they). The resulting embarrassment meant the organizers now had to claim there was no winners trophy. And infact tried to convince the public that the winners trophy was a ball that had earlier been announced as the third teams prize...hehehehehe...!!

Well Spartans (for now) are content with the shock on their faces as the final whistle blew....! Stay tuned.

HUUURAHHH!!!

The Arusha boys

The host city fielded two teams to maximally optimize the event and were successful enough to reach the quarter finals were they were knocked out by the Ugandan contingent Kampala City Council (K.C.C).

The Ugandans were later also knocked out in the semis by the Dar team and in the second semi Mombasa knocked out Harare's boys. In the finals Dar ladies succumbed to Nairobi city and Dar-es-salaam fought well but eventually lost to Mombasa City in a thrilling final that went into overtime (65-64).
