Indoor Basketball

Nelson won its first match in the South Island zone championship indoor basketball series, when it beat Otago 82-69. The victory was consolidated only in the last four minutes after Nelson had run up an early lead. Otago came back strongly to reduce Nelson's lead to 68-65, but tremendous pressure by Nelson in the closing stages increased the winning margin to 13 points. In a curtain-raiser, Nelson B beat the Colts 57-37.
