Kopala Basketball League resumes after a year

By Mercy Chewe
The Copperbelt Basketball League has finally resumed after a one year absence due to the impact of Covid-19.

The league was last staged in 2019 when Kitwe giants Lunga Bullets emerged champions.

In the 2020 season, no league games were played except for few friendly games toward the end of the year.

When the 2021 league started at the weekend, champions Lunga beat Spax Warriors A 53-71 at Don Bosco in Chingola.

In other games, hosts Don Bosco beat Konkola Trotters 70-68 with Spax Warriors B losing 71- 69 to Mufulira Magnets.

In Luanshya, hosts Roan Blazers edged Dann Panthers 49-35 with Luanshya Heat 75 beating Ndeke Falcons 75-69 and Luanshya Eagles overpowered YMCA Stingers 56-39.
