Dar Es Salaam \u2014 Dar es Salaam’s regional basketball team, Dream Team, bowed out of the 2011 East Africa Inter-Cities championship after crashing to a painful 106-44 defeat to hosts Nairobi in a semi final match at Nyayo Stadium, Kenya on Friday.It was the team’s heaviest defeat since joining the tournament over a decade ago.<\/p>\n

Basketball Dar es Salaam (BD) official Manase Zablon blamed the team’s ungraceful elimination in the tournament on poor preparations.The hosts looked destined for a win right from the first whistle as they put their opponents at bay throughout the game. It came as no surprise when they took a deserved 24-7 first quarter lead.<\/p>\n

In the second quarter, they started where they had left out, scoring points almost at will for a 40-20 half time lead. In the second half, Nairobi scored 66 more points while the Dar es Salaam team managed to chalk only 20. Lusajo Samuel was a notable player for Dar es Salaam. He emerged the top marksman for his team with 18 points.<\/p>\n

Dar es Salaam will swing back in action today against Nairobi University in what will be a mere formality game for the Tanzania team.The year’s tournament has attracted nine men teams and four women’s teams from the East and Central African cities.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, Nairobi dismissed Eldoret 77-54 at the same venue. Ancette Wafula made the opening seven points and wound up with game high 23 points as Nairobi led 37-19 at the break. Dan Okwirri nailed 19 for the losers.(Brown Msyani)<\/p>\n

It was a good day for Nairobi teams as the women’s select side demolished Kenya Universities (Kusa) 71-34 after a 35-23 half time advantage.<\/p>\n

Hilda Indasi and Angela Okoth bagged 11 points apiece while Kusa had 15 from Faith Owich. Kusa men beat Bentiu from Southern Sudan 75-45 with Evans Letting on fire sinking 16 points the same as the losers Major Magar.<\/p>\n

Todays fixtures: Mwanza v Mombasa, Kusa v Mogadishu (women), Bentiu v Dar, Mombasa v Juba, Kusa v Mogadishu, Nairobi Select v Nairobi Combined (women), Eldoret v Mwanza, Juba v Mogadishu. Nairobi rocked Mwanza 75-33 on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

A quick three pointer by Ancette Wafula set the victors off to a bright start but Mwanza took a 7-3 lead on baskets by Juma Kissoy. Demson Owili unveiled two dunks as Nairobi took a 17-7 first quarter lead. The ever busy Salim Ali showed his defensive prowess as Nairobi raced away 29-9 in the second for 46-16 half time scores.<\/p>\n
