BERKELEY will need to fight every second of every game of the season to stand a chance of surviving relegation in their maiden year in the MTN-FUBA men’s top-flight.
So, it was amazing to see the side, down by six points with only eight seconds left, accept defeat in a competitive clash with the Knight Riders on Sunday.
Overturning a six point deficit in eight seconds is hard enough. But when the power goes out, it is just impossible.
The options are to wait for the power to return, complete the eight seconds on a later date or the trailing team accepts defeat. Berkley chose the latter. It was also the most logical
If it was any consolation, Berkley’s Williams Odong won man-of-the-match on the back of a game-high 19 points.
Also Ivan Gyoyambadde sunk 10 points for Berkley, who have lost two in all.
