Home United Finished Third in Superstar Challenge

Defeat from the Taiwan Yulon and Singapore Cagers saw our Local Champion Home United finished Third in the Jumpshot Superstar Challenge. 

Taiwan Yulon cruised past Home United in their opening match. Yulon defeated Home by 28 points. Home United then pitted against the Singapore Cagers which made up of some local lads and two foreign imports from Africa. Standing at 2m tall, these guys really caused some problem to Home. Despite having the two foreign import, the cagers only managed to win the game 95-80. Home went on to secured a 40 points win against the local Philippines team and finished third in this tournament. 

The future still look bright for Home despite the two losses. Home seems to be able to dominate local basketball arena for another couple of years, unless BAS allow teams to import foreign like cagers without any special conditions. Couple of the local lads from cagers seems promising, but they still have a long way to go in order to stamp their foot on local basketball arena. 

You played well Home United, the fans are always behind you. With the fact that you did not import any foreigners to take part in this tournament and giving exposure to our very own local lads , we salute you!
