Elephant girls, Delta in good start

The Elephant Girls who did not leave any one in doubt as to their readiness to create fear in the mind of other would-be title contender took the Wale Aboderin girls to the cleaner from the blast of the referees’ whistle.

The Nigerian champion who parades some of the most tested players in the local scene such as Patricia Chukwuma, Funmilayo Ojelabi and Taye Adeniyi were too hot for the Ochuko Okworogun captain Dolphins.

Also on the winners chat in the first day of the five-day championship is red hot Delta Force of Asaba who defeated Republic of Benin Energie basketball 43-14 points.

The Asaba based team who arrives barely five minutes before being asked to step on court to face Cotonou based Energie basketball club put up a warriors-like approach to the amazement of the large crowd that thronged the indoor sports hall of the Abuja national stadium who had thought that the Gbubeni Fregene and Lateef Folami tutored side would be suffering from fatigue after traveling hundred of kilometre from Asaba to Abuja.
