In Week 1 of Term 4, the 3/4 Future Stars travelled to Kilsyth to participate in their Regional Hoop Time Finals. Tempy Thunder had a very successful day, winning all their games in the group stage including clashes against local rivals OLOP and Serpell, to advance to a qualifying final. Their first half of the final was a one-sided affair with TPPS into the main break by 8 points. A second half fight back saw the Thunder lose by two points. However, due to their excellent form on the day, they have been invited through to the State Finals on Thursday 29th November.
Today, the Grade 4 All Star Boys competed in their Regional Hoop Time Finals at Nunawading. The boys played very well as a team and improved their performances throughout the day. Unfortunately they were not able to progress through the group stage, finishing with one win and three losses. However, they should be commended for their excellent sportsmanship regardless of the results.
