BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN


Wednesday, November 11, 2009

THE Warriors are all hyped up and ready to notch their first win in Group A of the regular seven stars category of the LBC Cup when they take on El Tigre Marshalls tomorrow at the Brunei Basketball Association court in Batu Bersurat.

"The team is doing fine and we have been undergoing some practice sessions and are hoping to grab our first win of the tournament," said Michael Juan, playing coach of Warriors.

"I see that the team is getting to know each other's role now and we'll be banking on our defence to help lift us in Thursday's game," added Juan.

The Warriors have been handed the toughest task in the group thus far going up against two of the tournament favourites, ABMS and Palm Cafe, in their first two games. ABMS eventually thrashed them 103-74 and Palm Cafe left it late in their match to come up on top 111-96.

"In our previous two matches we had to go up against the favourites. It is quite unlucky that we have been placed in the difficult group.

"The thing is that we haven't gelled together properly yet prior to that and we lost some key players in the final moments of the match against Palm Cafe," said Juan.
