WNBL Triple Crown 2019
The Deakin Melbourne Boomers are bringing the best of the WNBL back to Gippsland this September for a four-day basketball bonanza, culminating in a blockbuster pre-season showdown against the Bendigo Spirit in Traralgon.
Rebounding from the success of the 2018 Triple Crown tournament played across Wellington, Baw Baw and Latrobe City shires, the Boomers will return to the region with another huge program in partnership with the Latrobe Valley Authority (LVA).
September’s tour will include a host of school and club clinics in Baw Baw and Latrobe Valley; coach the coach sessions; workshops; community visits and more.
Among the highlights is a 3×3 tournament open to senior, junior and wheelchair teams at the Gippsland Regional Sports Complex in Sale on Saturday 14 September, with prizes up for grabs in all divisions.
Then on Sunday 15 September the rivalry reignites between the Boomers and the Spirit when they face off for a full-scale WNBL pre-season match at Traralgon Sports Stadium.
