The CJSOI is now over and once more, Reunion Island won the title in basket - ball against the Madagascar Team in a really exciting final match on the score of 78-67. As for the Mauritius Team, they won the Bronze medal against the Mayotte Team on the score of 54-38.

This tournament has shown that the gap that exists between Mauritius Basket - Ball and the Reunion or Madagascar, is not so far, especially when you take into consideration that these 2 countries begin basket - ball at a much early age and have much sport facility there.

The bronze medal that Mauritius won in this tournament,the Silver medal that the Hoop basket - ball club won in the CCCOI this year and the win of the Flippers over the Premium Cobras shows an indication that Mauritius Basket - Ball is progressing and that the National Team, if given the adequate facilities by the Government, will be able to do much honour to Mauritius basket - ball in the Indian Ocean Games next year in Madagascar.

So, for once more, congrats to the Mauritius Basket - Ball Team that participated in the CJSOI and to the Coach, Rubin Batterie and Dominique Marisson and to Faida Antoine de Padoue for their great job.
