Yes finally Slingers have finalised the final match up following the boo-hoo by Sathyabama Stars - we will be going up against Philippine Basketball Association team Barangay Ginebra on Saturday Jan 17, Singapore Indoor Stadium, 7:30pm.
Apparently Barangay Ginebra is the most popular professional team in Philippine basketball. Woo I can't wait...but we will be without Shane McDonald, who has recently signed up with Perth Wildcats alongside ex-Slingers Ben Knight, and also Darren "Doc" Ng who might be returning to Aussie for orientation.
I was hoping Bob Turner, owner of Slingers, to persuade the current squad to stay. We have a very deep bench and a very good offensive/defensive team this season.
But saying that, I wish Shane all the best at Wildcats who are 0.500 wins/losses and are in the middle of the 10 team ladder in the Australian NBL.
Let's see how the rest of the Slingers can hold against the Filipinos this Saturday!
Tickets can be found over at Sistic.
