  Celtics men, BAA women win State Sr basketball titles
30 Nov 2017 BHUBANESWAR
 

Celtics Club men and Bhubaneswar Athletic Association (BAA) women emerged champions in the 59th Nalco Cup Senior State Basketball Championship which was organised by Odisha Basketball Association (OBA) at Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium, Cuttack from November 27 to 30, 2017.

Local club Celtics beat Ganjam District Athletic Association 67-59 in the hard-fought men’s final match, while BAA decimated Rovers Club, Cuttack 63-15 in women’s final match that turned out to be lop-sided contest. As many as 32 men’s and 12 women’s teams participated in the championship.

 

Nalco CMD Tapan Kumar Chand handed over the trophies in the closing ceremony. Organising Committee chairman Naba Ranja Patnaik, OBA president Ashok Kumar Sahu, secretary Gyana Ranjan Parida and Cuttack District Athletic Association working president Pankaj Lochan Mohanty were present on the occasion.

Inaugurated by Finance Department Executive Director Gangadhuar Sahu, the championship, however, failed to generate the expected public interest as OBA made no effort to disclose, let alone publicise the performance of the participating teams.
