Hadjie, Renal's centrecourt operator, doing his impression of Bolshoi's Swan Song. Good job, but Marlon sank that shot 12 feet away with his trademark perimeter shooting. They lose against Petersfield in a 3-point margin - so close but not close enough to win it.

Sayang!!!


Action Station

One of the highlights, Arthur sleepwalking while the whole gang ran after the ball.

Am I bothered?


Ceremonial Toast

Ceremonial Toast

There is only one jumpball in the entire game - believe it or not!SABA and FIBA Amateur rules that jumpball should only be done at the start of each game. Any jumpball in the game, ball possession goes to the opposing team, at any time of the game.

Ridiculous, but true.


The Posse

The Posse

Are Filipinos really nuts for picture-taking? Sadly, yes. But we are a nation of fun-loving, easy-going, laidback people who takes pictures whenever we want to, like this.

But a Time Magazine survey showed that people who takes pictures are positive individuals, who loves their families and had a great set of values. So there you go, that's Pinoys for you.


Way to go, Macus!

Way to go, Macus!

This is the game that the only one who really get tired running and chasing the ball is - you guess it right - the referee. Macus in particular, who ran after each possession, court-to-court, unbelievable.

The Pasaway Girls

Rona and the ever-smiling Jessie, two of the most ardent supporters of the League, never mind what others say - but - they are sooo biased!!!

Cheering for their teams and then manning the scoreboard, that is biased, but they're lovely, aren't they?

Thanks for the support and hope to see you two all Saturdays!


Bobot!!!

Edgar Mortiz resurrected, Gary had a direct instruction from Danny himself to box everyone out under the basket - and HE DID!


Danny-at-Play

Danny-at-Play

Is it me you are waiting for the penalty shot? As the rest of the players bore themselves waiting while Danny played with the ball. Dammit, get the shot right now!


Voltaire Injured

Voltaire Injured

Voltaire's not so serious leg injury while in the heat of their match against the rampaging Renal Babies. Fortunately, with the help of the team's 'Physiotherapists', he's able to bounce back to play and pumped an agonising 12 points.

They lose to Renal, 53-49, and slumped to 0-2 win-loss standing.


Renal Babies

King Arthur

King Arthur

As in his usual self - Arthur remains unpredictable with his crazed moves, baseline drives reminiscent of Rudy 'The Destroyer' Distrito - without the pun.

Game of the Finals

Game of the Finals

Fratton versus Petersfield, matched, pound-per-pound, por kilo, and with the ever-shining shoes of Robert Sales. Blinding, indeed.


Would-be-Champions

Would-be-Champions

Petersfield missed the opportunity to finish Fratton, ending the conference as 1st Runner-Up, but nevermind, the kids are alright.


The Champions - Fratton!

Last year's Runner-Up to Worthing, Fratton finally edged Petersfield, with Pocans bagging the Best Player of the Finals, scoring a back-to-back penalties in the crucial moments of the game.
