Basketball royalty on show at Arena
Tokomanawa Queens are adding another chapter to basketball’s long and storied association with Porirua, and the side’s locally based coach couldn’t be happier.
There is a mix of homegrown stars and overseas talent among what is essentially a revamped national women’s basketball league - all told, there are 18 current or former Tall Ferns lining up.
“This is fantastic for our aspiring young players to be mixing with class imports, it’s raising the level,” says Queens coach, former Tall Ferns player and Porirua local Tania Tupu.
She says having basketball of this level at the Arena is exciting.
The Queens’ remaining games at Te Rauparaha Arena are against the Whai on Monday 25 July, Hoiho on Wednesday 3 August and Kāhu on Thursday 18 August.
All games tip off at 7pm and tickets can be purchased at ticketspace.nz or at the door – $5 for children, $20 for adults. The Queens’ lineup, schedule and tickets can be found at queens.nz/schedule
