Prior to the start of the first game of the season, a minute silence was observed for former league administrator Benjamin Baafi who passed away on March 1.
The 54 year old died after battling a protracted illness since the final quarter of 2016.
On the court, defending Champions Braves got shocked by a late Galaxy tirade as the latter side went on a late run to win the tie 31-29.
The result was more shocking considering the Tudu side had just six players available for the game.
Braves did not lose a game last season as it swept all before them for another league title.
The following game had Navy beat UG 41-26 in a game that was barely close; the win was a bit of a surprise since Navy won just a game last season.
This year’s competition has five teams competing in the division
