Gilgandra Windmills play in U16s Indigenous round

Basketball NSW hosted an Indigenous Round for the Western Junior League’s third weekend that was played on April 1–2.

This included the Gilgandra Windmill under 16s Boys’ team travelling to Bathurst and facing four tough games over the weekend for a spot in the finals.

Despite working hard all weekend — including a 100-55 win over West Wyalong Silver in their first match — Gilgandra lost their next three games, placing them 10th on the ladder and ineligible for finals.

Game results:

Game one: Gilgandra Windmills won 100–55 versus West Wyalong Silver.

Game two: Gilgandra Windmills lost to Narrandera Knights 104-85.

Game three: Gilgandra Windmills lost 68–75 to the Dubbo Rams.

Game four: Gilgandra Windmills lost 61–104 to the Leeton Eagles Green.

While their 2023 Western Junior League journey may be over, the U16s Boys’ team will continue training for the John Martin Country Tournament in June, when they will take-on country teams from across the state.
