Basketball: Jets still ruthless as championship finals loom

Leaders continue winning streak as league action returns after break

Basketball action made its return on Island last week, with Isle of Man league senior league leaders, Jets maintaining their perfect record during the latest local fixtures.

Following a two-week break from fixtures, Jets moved to 15-0 at the top of the 25/26 senior league standings with a comprehensive 30-95 win up against bottom-of-the-table Hoops.

Elsewhere, there was a thrilling contest between second-placed Wolves and Cannons Elite in fourth with the former coming out on top by a narrow 71-61 scoreline.

The third and final match pitted Southern Phoenix in fifth and Cavaliers in third sport up against one another, with Cavaliers taking an assured 66-90 victory to move onto ten wins and six defeats for the current campaign.

Last Thursday's (26 March) clashes marked the penultimate weekend of the regular season ahead of the Championships finals to take place in a few weeks' time.

The last round of regular league match-ups takes place at the NSC in Douglas this Thursday (2 April) - Pirates and Hoops will get things underway at 7pm followed by a double-header at 8.30pm as Jets take on Wolves and Cavaliers face Cannons.
