Akatsi Rifles start to the 2017 Accra Basketball League (ABL) Men’s Division II season has been anything but good; on the contrary, the team has been poor.
Regarded as one of the fast developing club sides in Ghana, Rifles decision to compete in this year’s Division II season marked a major highlight in the team’s quick ascent.
However, what has ensued on the court has has left the side staring at a deep hole after recording no wins in three outings thus far in the campaign.
The team has lost to both Reformers of Prisons outfits before falling 41-49 to Panthers in the last round of games played at the Lebanon House Court in Tudu.
Akatsi lost 53-93 to Junior Reformers and succumbed to the senior side little over a week later. The big positives have been made on a personal level with the likes of Point Guard Makafui Agudzumegah playing a starring role.
The team will be keen on ending its bad run early to salvage the season. Games between Dunks Knight and Tudu Galaxy at 17:00 GMT and DC Aspirants and CYO takes place right after.
