THE Hamilton Basketball Association staged a very successful tournament on the weekend with 88 teams visiting Hamilton to contest the opening competition of the squad basketball season.

Four different venues were required to host the event with HILAC, Baimbridge College, Monivae College, and the Hamilton and Alexandra College all seeing their facilities used throughout the weekend, as the Hurricanes recorded victory in one age group and were runner-up in nine others to get the season off to a bright start.
