Coach of fast
rising female basketball side, First Deepwater, Lateef Erinfolami, has
stated that his wards will give the defending champions a good run for
the title as the final phase of the Nigeria Basketball Federation
(NBBF) organized Zenith Bank Women Premier League gets underway in
Lagos today.

First Bank, First Deepwater and Sunshine Angels are tied on points and all three teams have equal chances of winning the league.

Discussing his
team’s chances of winning their first league crown, Erinfolami said his
girls are focused for the final phase and ready to go all the way to
achieve this feat.

“It’s not over
until it is over; we still have a fair chance of wrestling the title
away from them. All I can say for now is that it’s going to be fight to
finish” Erinfolami said.

Ten teams will be competing in the Lagos finals, the final phase of the Women Basket ball League, which begins today.

According to the
time-table released by the secretariat of the Nigeria Basketball body;
Nigeria Customs Service basketball team who missed in the second phase
held in Asaba, Delta State, last month will open against fellow
services side Nigeria Immigration basketball club.

The other four
games billed for the opening day will see AHIP Queens of Kano battling
it out against title hopeful First Deepwater basketball club of Lagos;
Sunshine Angels basketball club of Akure, which came third after the
second phase campaign, will take on Dolphins basketball club of Lagos;
defending champions and table leader, First Bank basketball club of
Lagos will take to the court against Plateau Rocks basketball club of
Jos; while Delta Force basketball club of Asaba will round up Day-1
action against FCT Angels basketball club of Abuja.

The two top teams
at the end of this campaign would get a ticket to represent Nigeria at
the FIBA Africa Zone-3 elimination slated for Monrovia, Liberia, later
in the year.
