The 5th Annual Onslow Basketball Carnival proved to be the biggest and best to date with over 400 players, specatators and officials!
The Carnival, which took place on 14 and 15 Sept 2013, proudly demonstrated the excellent range of skill and good sportsmanship by almost 200 players from around the region.
A total of 19 teams travelled from all over the North West – Port Hedland, Roebourne, Karratha, Carnarvon and Onslow.
“We always manage to obtain excellent support from the community which contributes greatly to the smooth running of the carnival,” said event organiser and Community Services Manager for the Shire of Ashburton Peta Hayto.
“Referees were sourced from out of town so as to have neutral officials for the finals games and also to encourage and educate existing and potential local referees.”
Event organisers were delighted to see large numbers of spectators. “We are always amazed at not only the support for the local players but the entourage of followers for the visiting teams” Peta Hayto said.
