On June 7, the team 'Fire' and the team 'Panthers' tied the score 68-68 at the end of the regulation. Given that the game was played in an open space, the overtime was scheduled the next morning due to poor visibility and... Fire did not show up, leaving to Panthers the win, and the points in the standing table. Three days after, 'Braves of CEPS' destroyed 'Flames' 83-39 with Dodzi Baniba (G-83) leading the way as the game top performer.

Cape Coast Hoops yesterday defeated Tudu Wizards 59-56 in the ongoing Cabalan Thome Memorial Basketball Tournament at Lebanon House, Accra. Hoops who earlier lost to CEPS in their first game and than to Police in a second game had to prove to the skeptics that they are a team still in contention for the league title. The game was highlighted by three spectacular dunks. An alley-oop dunk by Chris and a fast break reverse dunk by SB. Hoops seems to be winning a lot of support from fans in Accra as many came to the bench of the team to congratulate the boys on their victory. The victory also bring confidence in some of the new players like Ricki Ansong of AUGUSCO who just signup with the team. He was also a great help in the victory. Hoops is expected to play their last game with Yotive on Saturday and will need a big win in order to qualify for the last four. Presently the team is looking forward to the resumption of the league on Aug 15 and a league match against the same Wizards on the 16th. The team is expected to start intensive training at the sports grounds of Prisons Barracks in Cantonment, Accra. In the same group, CEPA won against Police, giving them a third victory in a row in the Cabalan Tournament.
