Hot Shots won Pool A with nine points, with The Embers second on four points.
Team Evil topped Pool B with nine points, with Tres Basketball second with six points.
Other teams in Pool A were the Brick Layers and Chichester Knights, with M E Buckets and Uni & Friends making up Pool B.

A very tight final saw Team Evil defeat Hot Shots 15-14.
The Most Valuable Player award went to Team Evil’s Tom Smith.
This tournament was sponsored by Richmond Motor Group, while the University of Portsmouth Basketball club provided volunteers Alicia, Marisa, Ichi, Alex and Charles who helped out with scoring and refereeing.
