NATIONAL club champions Dazzle Red Beach is looking for a
three-in-a-row win tomorrow to continue its unbeaten run in Lae
men’s basketball competition.
And no-nonsense coach Male Nalau has a line-up that should go pass
strong rivals NS Busu in the main clash of the day.
Having won two of its season proper outings, Red Beach who have
yet to taste a premiership title in the city’s race despite two
failed attempts at the title, this time around things are looking
good with the sponsorship backing of KK Kingstons through its
product brand dazzle.
The boys in red will be out on the courts in new uniforms recently
bought by their sponsors. The match will be treated also as a
farewell for player Sandy Katusele who leaves next week for
further training in Brisbane in preparations for the Samoa Pacific
Games.
Katusele will be missed by the team for two months with his
national athletics engagement.
Nalau will be banking on the services of his first five in guards
Gaugari Abong and Joseph Geno, centre Katusele and forwards Kipu
Giali and Wayne Lucas.
While little magic man Aaron Kanai, Dean Lamu, Sibona Kala, Iga
Saitina and former Lae Tech player Ian Salilum will provide the
necessary assistance from the bench.
“I am confident of a win especially with the new outfit we should
continue our top performance,” coach Nalau said.
He is hopeful that the weather permits for a top basketball match.
