Final round of matches in both Abuja and Zaria centres which are venues for the Savannah Conference will take place today.

It was an explosive encounter that kept spectators on the edges of their seats as First Bank were superior by recording a 13-point victory margin in the match which ended 58-45.

The other game in the centre that closed on Tuesday, saw Ogun Babes defeat Oluyole Babes 59-56 in a very close encounter. It was the only win recorded by the Ogun Babes while Oluyole Babes failed to win any match in the first round stage.

A total of 27 teams are competing in this year’s Zenith Bank Women Basketball League which is witnessing a new format.

144 matches are expected to have been decided in the four centres at the end of proceedings today.
