APR powers into basketball playoffs

espoir


Former champions APR basketball club registered a place in the basketball playoffs finals after defeating 30-Plus 76-46 at Amahoro indoor stadium on Sunday.


Former APR player Eugene Uwineza, who passed away last Saturday was honoured in a minute of silence before Nestor Manzi led APR to the win against 30-Plus with 15 points.


With so much at stake, Cliff Owuor set out his APR team on a very clear mission, and the players didn’t let him down as they dominated the first half 34-19 before adding 42 points in second half to snatch fourth position from the hands of United Generation Basketball (UGB), who will understandably be disappointed to miss out.


APR and UGB finished level on 17 points but the former edged the latter on points average 1.11 against 0.89.


On Friday, 2011 champions Kigali Basketball Club cemented their second place with a 78-46 win against 30-Plus, who ended the regular season without a single win.


Four teams led by two-time champions and still undefeated Espoir, KBC, Rusizi and APR will contest in the Playoffs finals set to begin on Friday this week.
