THE 50TH Anniversary of the Deloraine Amateur Basketball Association was celebrated with a dinner on 30th April. Current President Shaun Donohue said “We currently have over 370 players this season.

Our roster is growing and we’ll soon need to consideroptions to expand our stadium.

The 2015/16 season Grand Final saw some hotly contested games in both the Men’s and Women’s competitions.

The Committee have been really excited about the standard of competition.”
