THE Bulawayo Basketball League is returning to action this coming weekend after a month long festive break.
Bulawayo Basketball Association (BBA) secretary general Francis Dube said they are ready to resume games.

“We expect to resume the league campaign this Saturday. There are teams yet to fully affiliate and we hope they are working on that. We are really excited and looking forward to a successful second half campaign,” said Dube.
At the break, Legends were on top of the table having accumulated 14 points from seven games.

They won all their seven games. Southern Mavericks are in second position with 11 points from the same number of games.

The two competitions will see the women’s and men senior national teams return to action after what has been a long hiatus.
Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Angola, South Africa, Lesotho, Botswana and hosts Zimbabwe are participating in the competitions which will run from February 20-28.
