ANSE AUX PINS and Baie Ste Anne Praslin are the champions of the Primary basketball tournament played last Saturday at the Palais des Sports to lift the winners’ trophies sponsored by Barclays Bank.
Led by Annissette Souffe, who won the best female player title, Baie Ste Anne Praslin beat La Rosière 12-4 in the girls’ final.
