Just four teams are left to battle it out for the WNBL title. Who will win?
The 2012 WNBL championship race is down to just four teams after the Townsville Fire eliminated the Sydney Uni Flames on Wednesday.
The Flames, who finished the season in fourth place on the ladder, scored a dramatic 85-78 victory before their adoring fans at the Townsville RSL Stadium in their Elimination Final to progress to the Semis.
There they will face the Dandenong Rangers, whose 14-8 record clinched a third-place finish at the end of the regular season.
The Rangers-Flames clash in the Second Semi-Final is set for 3:00PM local time at the Dandenong Basketball Stadium this Sunday 26 February.
The winner of that game will face the victor of the First Semi-Final on Saturday 25 February, which sees the minor premiers Adelaide Lightning host regular season runners-up and defending WNBL Champions the Bulleen Boomers at Adelaide Arena.
Whoever wins out of Bulleen and Adelaide on Saturday will advance automatically to the Grand Final, which they will host on Sunday 11 March.
The loser however will have to take on either Dandenong or Townsville in the Preliminary Final on March 4 for the right to advance to the championship game.
Just who will hold aloft the WNBL championship trophy on 11 March. We can’t wait to find out!
