City retain their Playoff Championship & repeat!
Cardiff City Men played another thrilling game of basketball against fellow Welsh rivals RCT Gladiators, whom they had been battling all season in both local and national leagues.
City managed to one up RCT in NBL (National Basketball League) by finishing second to their third place and securing a loss and a win for each team against the other.
But RCT were far more dominant at local league level most of the regular season, securing the local league cup again.
But as the end of the season approached it was City who managed to dominate the second half of the game against the always impressive RCT.
Zak Mohammed won finals MVP after lighting the court on fire on both ends of the court through out the tournament!
City took the contest 89-82
