Sports Islanders aiming to win the Nigerian Basketball League

Coach of Lagos Islanders Lateef Erinfolami, is upbeat that they would win the 2013/14 DStv Basketball League.

The new season is scheduled to jump off on February 28,with some of the games in the Atlantic Conference taking place at the indoor hall of the National Stadium Surulere,Lagos.

Erinfolami said that they are aiming to break the duck of not having won the League title in the last five years.

“We are yet to win the league in the last five years since DStv became the sponsor. This season, we are not only determined to win the league, we are also determined to win the ultimate national play-offs this season,” he told the News Agency of Nigeria(NAN)

“Our expectations last season were cut short due to our careless mistakes in the conference competition. We came third in last season’s Atlantic Conference Final Four and lost the opportunity to play in the national final four that required only two teams from the conference.

“We are confident that the coming season is our season; we are not boasting because we are aware of other team’s determination to also do well. We have a squad of more young players and old players that has blended well during our preparation for the season and this makes us hopeful,” Erinfolami said.
