Over the Term 1 holiday period Newington boys Makuach Maluach (11/FL) (NSW County) and Grant Anticevich (11/KL) (NSW Metro) were in Ballarat, Victoria  battling the other States and Territories for the right to call themselves Australian Under 18 Mens Basketball Champions.

With each boy’s team suffering only one loss throughout the tournament, they found themselves head-to-head in the Gold medal game. In a grueling battle, NSW Country were able to break away late in the contest to record a 82 – 66 victory and claim the title of National Champion. Newington Basketball congratulates both boys on their outstanding efforts.  We certainly like the look of those Gold and Silver medals!
