Basketball play offs: Walkover for Espoir BC


The much anticipated playoff match between APR BC and Espoir BC that was supposed to take place yesterday never kicked off after ESPOIR BC were handed a walkover by the Rwanda Basketball Association, because they failed to turn up. Sources from inside ESPOIR BC reveal that the failure to turn up was due to the fact that one of their players Christophe Wazaura (alias Pappy), had lost his mother the previous Friday, and as a result the club was getting behind him to support him through that trying period.
The sources continue to indicate that the club had officially requested theFederation to postpone the match to the following weekend but instead the match was postponed until Tuesday, a day when they were still mourning the death of their colleague’s mother.
The walkover handed APR BC a chance to advance to the finals and they will now see a rivalry renewed as they will face Kigali Basketball Club (KBC), who are also the defending champions of the league. KBC had seen off Kigali Institute of Education (KIE) by 66-57 in a match they dominated throughout the four quarters.
