Wallidan male basketball team will today leave Banjul for Dakar where they will take part in a friendly international basketball tournament organised by their counterparts in Senegal.

Teams from France, Mauritania and other parts of the sub-region are expected to participate in the championship which is scheduled from May 25 to May 28, 2008.

Both Wallidan basketball teams (male and female) have been at the helm of the Gambia basketball league since its inception five seasons back.

The indomitable sides were gallant winners of all the three titles (super cup, league and knock-out titles) staged by the Gambia Basketball Association this season.
