NBL1 UPDATE:
Our men’s NBL1 team went head to head with Eltham on Saturday night in an elimination final.
After leading early, Eltham regained control of the game from the 2nd quarter onwards, until a late charge almost saw Geelong snatch the lead back.
Time unfortunately got the better of our guys though, and Eltham walked away 5 point winners.
