PANTHERS have made it a hat-trick of Legis Division One basketball titles after a comprehensive 92-40 victory over the Island Under-21s last night.

Patrick Ogier’s team have now won three straight crowns and will look to make it a local double when they face Focus in tomorrow evening’s knockout cup final.

Last night’s victory was a formality from the moment Sam Simon gave Panthers a fourth-second lead and they comfortably won every quarter of the encounter.

Afterwards, Ogier was a happy man as he reflected at winning the ‘toughest title so far’.
