THE old wooden flooring of the Brunei Basketball Association’s (BBA) Basketball Court in Batu Bersurat has seen its final share of basketball action on Tuesday night following a friendly basketball match between media personnel.
The BBA committee members as well as national team players were also present to take a group photo for the last time on the wooden court.
Built more than 10 years ago, the BBA basketball court has hosted many competitions and games such as the Borneo City Basketball Invitational Tournament (Borneo Cup), local tournaments, training sessions for the national team as well as the Brunei Barracudas team for Asean Basketball League and friendly basketball games.
Local basketball players have raised to the occasion to score some winning shots in the 10-year-old court; some have won and some have felt the bitterness of defeats on the court. However, the most important thing was the friendships that were forged while playing the game of basketball.

Following a number of criticisms from the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) during past visits, the BBA has decided to renovate its basketball court.
The court in Batu Bersurat is officially closed for renovation which will take more than one month starting yesterday.
The upgrade of the court as per FIBA’s specifications is estimated to cost around $91,350.
