The champions are coming to Sydney.
The Flames face the ultimate early-season test when defending champions Townsville Fire arrive in Sydney for a Saturday showdown.
Townsville had the upper hand last season, but this is a very different Flames team. With a new coach, a new style and major additions including Yang Shuyu, Jaz Shelley, Issie Bourne and athletic import Maya Dodson, Sydney has been rebuilt to compete with the league’s best.
Saturday basketball does not get much bigger than this: the defending champions, a fearless new Flames side and a home crowd ready to make a difference. Secure your seats and help Sydney turn up the heat.
