BASKETBALL BAS Berkeley Institute won the first annual Saltus Invitational Girls Running Clock Tournament on Saturday when they beat MSA by an 11-point margin in what was a repeat of last year's Bermuda Schools Sports Federation tournament final.

Berkeley were led by captain Bismillah Sharrieff and they dominated from start to finish.

Seven teams participated in the tournament, which was sponsored by Bermuda Restaurants Ltd. In preliminary round-robin action Mount St Agnes (MSA) won their pool convincingly with three wins from three matches.

MSA were followed by Warwick Academy with two wins and a loss, Northlands with one win and two losses and Whitney with three losses. MSA and Warwick Academy advanced to the semifinals as the top two finishers in their pool.

The other three-team pool ended in a three-way tie with all three teams finishing with a win and a loss. To determine who would go through to the semifinals against MSA and Warwick Academy, the organisers calculated points scored against each team. Berkeley came out on top followed by Chaffee. Hosts Saltus were eliminated from further competition.

In the first semifinal Warwick Academy played Berkeley in a very close game with only seconds remaining on the clock before Berkeley scored to win the game by one point.

In the second semifinal MSA were up against a young Chaffee team. Chaffee gained an early 4-0 lead but soon lost it to a more experienced MSA team who eventually won the game by a margin of six points.

Saltus will be hosting their third annual Senior Boys Running Clock Tournament on Saturday, January 9. Their first annual tournament for junior boys will take place the following weekend.
