SIBU: Entry is now open for the Sibu Division Boys & Girls U16 basketball championship to be held at Sungei Antu Basketball Court from March 23 to 29.

A spokesman from the organising committee said the aim was to foster closer rapport among the basketball enthusiasts here.

“Besides, it is also aimed at selecting outstanding cagers to represent Sibu Division for the divisional meet,” he added.

The spokesman said only Sibu residents and those born in 1996 and after are eligible for participation.
