EBA season bounces back into action

By MATT GREEN OVER the grand final long weekend, four teams representing Euroa Basketball Association took to the courts in the Echuca-Moama Junior Tournament. Competing against teams from across regional Victoria and southern NSW, our Junior Magpies got their 2023 – 24 Junior Representative Season off to a very positive start. With teams entered in all age groups from under 12 through to under 18, it was a great opportunity for our teams to see where they fit within the other associations competing and to renew or establish some competitive rivalries that will no doubt continue across the season. Over the coming months these teams will play in several tournaments across the state with each age group finishing their season with the Basketball Victoria Junior Country Championships held early next year. For a relatively small association as compared to the likes of Shepparton, Bendigo and Wangaratta, our teams continue to show that they can hold their own against these larger associations and complete at a high level, playing some great basketball in the process and representing EBA with pride. Our teams are made up of players from Euroa and the surrounding area, with some players travelling from Avenel, Nagambie and Benalla to form some very talented teams and provide all of our players the opportunity to compete against their peers and continue to develop their skills and experience at a high level. Euroa Basketball’s summer domestic competition is also about to get underway in the next week or so to provide basketballers of all skill levels the chance to get involved and be part of the action in which games will be played each week over the rest of term four and continue through to the end of term one 2024. Teams will be created in age groups and games will be played at our home courts at the Euroa Secondary College Multipurpose Stadium. If you are thinking about playing basketball for the first time, we offer a great inclusive environment to learn the game and be supported by our great group of established players. Stay up to date with all the action happening within the Euroa Basketball Association, keep an eye out for more articles in the Gazette or jump onto the Euroa Basketball Facebook page and see what events we have coming up. Alternatively, you can reach out to the association by emailing to euroabasketballassociation@gmail.com.
