south african National team
VS French All Stars
friday – 19h00 - 1 August
Entertainment at Its Best – Free Public Entrance
Spectators have witnessed an action-packed international
wheelchair basketball tournament which commenced on Friday 25 July 2014. South Africa have outdone themselves in
winning three out of three tight test matches showing gutsy determination, agile
speed and excellent ball skill. Very well done
in holding the lead by close margins against world class competition!
Having followed the 2014 World Cup football just
one month ago it is evident that any football spectator or football fanatic would
enjoy this week’s final test match.
The public are welcome to come and support our
National Team in the 4th and last match in this exciting basketball series. Sports fans will appreciate the AmaWheelaBoys
skill and speed on the court and in particular South Africa’s display of key
tactical blocking defense and teamwork which is enviable for any ball sport team.
