Suncity Braves have claimed top spot in the latest Global Sporting Platforms (GSP) Basketball League in Sunyani after a 45-30 win over Desert Rabbits extended its winning run in the 2016 season to four. The defending champions’ latest win ensures they claim top spot in the league for the first time this season.
Its main rival, Barracks Scorpions, had its winning streak and reign atop the league standing ended in the wake of the team’s lopsided 29-65 loss to University of Energy and Natural resources (UENR). The shock loss halted UENR’s run of underwhelming results that has surprisingly plagued the team this year.
Catholic University College, Ghana (CUCG) Saints woeful form in recent outings pushes the side further down the standing. The Saints lost 22-25 to West Siders.
Below is a summary of results in Week 4 and how the teams fare on the standings:
Sunyani Polytechnic 29-30 LIR Royals
CUCG Saints 22-25 West Siders
