BigV Round 12

A monster weekend at the Falcon's Nest this weekend. If you can’t make it to the stadium, watch it online at http://www.mindittv.net/wba



Saturday is the girl’s night out!

The Falcons should certainly take something from their efforts against Dandenong in a match that could have been a lot worse. But what do they make of this weeks opponent? Out of the ashes, the Broncos have pulled together two wins on the trot and are all of a sudden a tough matchup. Let’s face it, finals are beyond both these sides, but a wooden spoon is certainly up for grabs.



State Championship Women



Waverley vs Sherbrooke 8:30pm Sat AEST (10.30 UTC) @ Waverley Basketball Stadium

Much has been said and written about Sherbrooke’s performances in SCW over the last two-and-a-half years. The Suns have struggled for wins or momentum for the most part and the loss of Sally Laing to injury this season has been a major thorn. This game sees the Suns travel to Waverley for a clash with the likes of Mikaela Dombkins and Brigitte Ardossi, two proven WNBL performers who are desperately needed right now to help string some wins together for the Falcons. It’s been said before, but if the Suns are going to grab a badly needed win, they absolutely need to step up in numbers and not just rely on one or two players each week. Massive opportunity for the Falcons to score a vital win and put simply, if the Falcons don’t get the chocolates here it will surely be a major blow to their finals aspirations.



The boys get down to it on Sunday afternoon


Victorian Youth Championship Men


Waverley vs. Sandringham Sun 16/06 12.30pm AEST (02.30 UTC) @ Waverley Basketball Stadium

Well what a catastrophe round 11 was for Waverley. Stars out or not, it was a pretty abysmal effort from the top side in the competition from almost everyone. They’ll had two weeks to stew on it before hosting Sandy on Sunday afternoon in an attempt to return to the winners list. We’re likely to see Deng Adel and Hothnyang back in the lineup. Good for them, really bad for the Sabres.



State Championship Men



Waverley vs Ringwood 2:30pm Sun AEST (04.30 UTC) @ Waverley Basketball Stadium

Well, the question was asked of Ringwood last time out against Corio Bay and straight to the point, the Hawks answered an emphatic yes with regards to their ability to make finals this season as they aim to defend their 2012 title. By blasting Corio Bay off the floor the Hawks clearly cemented themselves as an in-form team (six successive wins) capable of tearing apart any opponent. Let’s not forget they can also boast a win against Bulleen during that run.

The home team, Waverley, continues to be a hard unit to read. When they are up and about, they present as a slick crew with an ability to score quickly and lock down teams at the other end, but a narrow 1pt victory at home against Werribee in round 11 was too close for comfort. The Matt Snowball versus Sedale Threatt match-up is worthy of the admission fee here, while Ivan Platenik and Shaun Clarke could also put on a good show.

Though his last two games have delivered hauls at opposite ends (48pts and 6pts) of the hoops spectrum, you know that Bryan Dougher will explode if given room at the arc, so enjoy the fireworks. Given their current run, not to mention their demolishment of Corio Bay two weeks ago, it’s hard to see Ringwood slowing down anytime soon.

Quiet night for Ben to ease into Big V basketball ... only 11 points, but it's tough to get on the court in this team.

The monster jams were somewhat impressive though - including the one that missed will the ball ending up in the bleachers ...

Anyone around Melbourne the next number of weeks better get along to a Bulleen Champ Mens game or two - man, that's sure worth a look.
