Funny Sixers vs Crocs: First home game!
Wednesday October 6th is the Sixers' first home game; it sees them tackle the Townsville Crocodiles at the Dome at 7:10PM. This is tomorrow night, so get organised!
On Saturday night, Adelaide went down to the Crocs by three points after Maher missed a final-play shot, and then Holmes' successful shot from outside was ruled "after the buzzer" and subsequently disallowed.
Both Adelaide and Townsville are expected to fair well in the Philips Championship in 2004/05. The Sixers have balanced their roster with the addition of Paul Rees and David Cooper in the middle, and Willie Farley rejoins Brett Maher.
Townsville have made a speedy transition from one of the older teams of the NBL to one of the younger ones with the addition of rookies Brad Newley (from SA) and Adam Quick. Their two imports Casey Calvary and Rob Brown performed well in their first official outing and supplement two of the NBL's top names in John Rillie and Rob Rose. While Pat Reidy is out with injury, the Crocs also enjoy the involvement of one-time Sixer Derek Moore.
It should be a great game: a chance for the Sixers to get their revenge and improve their 04/05 record to 2 wins, 1 loss; alternatively, a Crocs win could see them at 2 and 0 near/at the top of the ladder.
If you are not a season ticket holder you can investigate the Try 5 offer from the Sixers ($123.75 for 5 games), or get your ticket from Venuetix (adult ticket is $30.20 if you buy online, or $28 if you buy over the phone on 8225 8888 or in person at one of their outlets).
