This time schoolboys were the ones teaching lessons, having welcomed Vyb Patriots back to basketball’s top flight with a 68-46 flogging in Saturday’s Co-operators General Insurance knockout opening round at the Wildey Gymnasium.

But not much seems to have changed in that span, as the Husbands men slumped to yet another loss in the top flight while fielding just six players on the night.
