ZIMBABWE : Celtics expelled from HBA league

HARARE Basketball Association (HBA) ‘A’ League side Celtics have been expelled from the league after failing to meet the registration deadline.



HBA secretary general Ardmore Gondoza confirmed the development saying they gave the club until Friday last week to register but they failed to do so resulting in the association deregistering them.
“Celtics will not be playing basketball this year after failing to meet the registration deadline. We sent them a circular last week notifying them that the registration deadline will be Friday, but nothing has come from them.
“This left us with no choice, but to de-register them for this season together with champions Cameo who wrote to us saying they will not participate in the league this season,” he said.
Gondoza said the league would meet next week to decide what to do with regards to the number of teams left in the league.
“The HBA executive will meet next week to decide what to do in the face of the withdrawal of the two clubs. We currently have 14 teams in the league, but we are supposed to have 16 teams,” he said. Efforts to contact team official Raymond “Stretch” Nyamuziwa were fruitless, but the club is believed to have failed to raise a team for the season.
Celtics have failed to lure players to the team after losing a number of players to other teams. Meanwhile, highflying HBA side Dzivarasekwa Raiderz will be hoping to keep up their fine form when they take on South Central at Dzivarasekwa courts tomorrow. Stommers will have to be at their best if they entertain any hopes of salvaging something in Dzivarasekwa, which Raiderz have turned into a slaughterhouse.
Raiderz coach Ngoni Mukukula has transformed the side into an awesome machine and have won all the three games they have played so far.
The Dzivarasekwa based side’s recruitment of former Cameo players Nixon Mawire, Duncan Shenje and Simukai Musiiwa has seen a change in fortune for the team. Erinos Katsaruware, Norest Shenje, the tall gangling Levy Mwanza and the evergreen Menard Masawi have ably supported the former Cameo trio.
Another potentially explosive tie is at UZ where HBA new boys SCB Stommers take on Jewels. Jewels will call upon the talents of Michael Banda, Tapiwa Mugwagwa and Artwell Dzikiti for victory. However, if Jewels entertain any hopes of getting the victory on a silver platter, they should guard the Churchill High School trio of Simba Dongonda, Nomutsa Mupezeni, Kevin Zakazaka, and Tatenda Kembo.
