The 2017 Tema Basketball League Final will be reenacted later this weekend on Sunday May 20 at the Tema Community 4 Court as Tema Community 4 takes on Ashaiman Lions.
Lions and C4 played in last year’s final series which had Community 4 come out tops after winning two straight games.
The tie tops the four game schedule for this weekend set to be played on the striking newly painted court in Ghana’s main port city.
Both teams clinched wins in the last round as C4 survived a strong Teshie Vikings attack to clinch a 52-50 win while Lions fended off Akatsi Rifles courtesy a 61-49 win.
Ashaiman is one of two teams yet to be beaten this season; nemesis Nungua Coldstore is the other team to win all games this season.
Lions lead the league standings with ten maximum points while Community 4’s 27-39 loss to Francophone Stars checks to third place behind Lions and Stars.
A win for C4 not only ends Ashaiman’s winning run but potentially takes the Tema side to top spot in the standings.
