"Basketball" It Was Called

We were asked to come and take some pictures of a "basketball" match between nurses and doctors of Nelson. We are sure the word was "basketball", but we began to have doubts a split second after the opening whistle. All-in-wrestling cum Rugby would have been a better description. To be fair, we will go as far as to say the nurses tried to play basketball, but finding that finesse couldn't match thuggery, they switched too. Lots of fun enjoyed by players and a big gallery. The score? Doctors won 25-12.
