THE RIVALRY that defined basketball for a decade is about to be played out again on the big stage.
Age-old adversaries Station Hill Cavaliers and Lumber Company Lakers are set to play yet another title game after comfortably advancing to tomorrow’s Co-operators General Insurance Premier League Basketball Knockout final.
