The Castlemaine Cannons Country Basketball League side is off to a flyer having won their first two games of the 2023-2024 season.
The Cannons hosted their first home match for the year at the Castlemaine’s War Memorial Stadium in McGrath Street, Wesley Hill laast Saturday night.
Castlemaine faced off against the Echuca Pirates winning 78 to 69 in Saturday’s clash in front of their home crowd.
Chris Hogan top scored for Castlemaine with 17 points, Oliver Mayman netted 14 and Lloyd Needs 12.
The win follows the Cannons round one victory over Macedon at Macedon by 18 points.
In that match Trent Leech bagged 18 points, Jack White 16 points and Chris Hogan 15 points.
Cannons CBL player and coach Aidan Brohm said it was great to kick off the season with a couple of wins.
“We have a strong side and we have been touted as the team to beat this season so we hope to do the local region proud,” he said.
This weekend the Cannons have a double header at home with the side to take on the Kyneton Tigers at the War Memorial Stadium at 5pm Saturday night, October 21, followed by the Maryborough Blazers at the same venue at 1pm Sunday October 22.
“We’d love to see big crowds there to cheer us on at each of our home matches,” Aidan said.
