Co-Founder of Spintex Basketball Club, Dr. Eric Opoku-Antwi, unsurprisingly expects his team to beat big rivals Nungua Coldstore and stretch its winning streak over Coldstore.
He said this in an exclusive chat with Citi Sports in the lead up to Knights’ game against Coldstore in the Accra Basketball League (ABL) Men’s Division I at 18:00 GMT at the El-Wak Stadium on Saturday, May 17.
The teams started off in the Tema Community Basketball League before transitioning to the ABL and share a rivalry Dr. Opoku-Antwi has described as a “healthy one”. (Click highlighted text to read full story)
Knights beat Coldstore in last year’s finals to clinch its second league title in a row and another win is on the cards according to Dr. Opoku-Antwi on Saturday.
“I believe it is one of the biggest games in our basketball era now and…I want to win and I believe that Spintex Knights will come out with the W at the end of the day” Dr. Opoku-Antwi said.
Last year’s title win for Knights came on the back of Spintex’s debut run in the Basketball Africa League that had Spintex become the first Ghana side to progress from the preliminary stage.
