The race to win the final tickets billed for Lagos intensified in the Atlantic Conference of the Zenith Bank/ NBBF Women Basketball League on Thursday, with interesting results recorded.
Defending champions, Mountain of Fire Ministries Women Basketball Team defeated First Deepwater 65-29 in a largely one-sided encounter in Ilorin.
It was the first match of the day, and the MFM women overwhelmed opponents such that the defending champions had to relax at some point to save their energy for future challenges in Phase 2.
With this result, MFM is confirmed to play in the final scheduled for Lagos next month after winning all their games in Phases One and Two, respectively, so far.
The second game between First Bank and the Dolphins was very tight as the spectators were given a full dose of a keen basketball encounter.
In the end, the First Bank Basketball team defeated the Dolphins 43-42. It was a game that could have gone either way, but the bankers eventually won.
The sponsors, Zenith Bank and the organisers, NBBF, have agreed that the finals of the 2025 edition will take place between September 14 and 18 at the Indoor Sports Hall of the National Stadium in Lagos.
