After putting together an impressive first nine games of the VJBL season, coach Conor Mathews’ team qualified for VC Championship play, and will launch the second phase of its campaign against Melbourne 1 at MSAC tomorrow night.

And if you can’t get out to support our two teams at the Classic, don’t despair. Games from six courts will be live streamed over the weekend – three of them at Dandenong Basketball Stadium, the other three at the State Basketball Centre.
