We've Always heard it said that basketball is one of the finest sports in the world for developing physique. And that's not hard to believe when you look at this fine series of action shots of borne players taken during the Queen's Birthday tournament in the Army Hall. These radiantly fit young people take this sort of thing in their stride, but for older types watching from the sideline five minutes of such gymnastic contortions would lay them in a hospital bed for weeks.
