Basketball Contributor: Colin Dabinett
It was a privilege to recently welcome Colin Dabinett into my home. Basketball supporters from the 1960s and 1970s will remember the former United Church and Sturt power forward for his significant contribution to South Australian club basketball.
Dabinett was part of the memorable Sturt team that defeated West Adelaide in the grand final at the official opening of Apollo Stadium.
According to Colin, the surviving members of that team STILL enjoy celebrating that famous victory!

I look forward to posting Colin’s contributions in the future.

IT'S GAMEDAY!!! πŸ€πŸ’™

Come celebrate winter solstice eve by seeing your NBL1 sides take on the Woodville Warriors at Pro Bitumen Arena. Beat the cold (kind of, it can still get pretty chilly in the Sabre cave) with two fiery match ups as we head down the home straight of the season.

On behalf of the Sturt Basketball Club, we congratulate Neil Gliddon for receiving an Order of Australia Medal for his service to basketball.

Neil's contribution to the sport spans seven decades and he has had huge influence over some of Australia's greatest basketballers.

More specifically to Sturt, his coaching of fundamentals and skills-focused teaching created a blueprint for success in both individuals and teams and this led to an era of success that will be very difficult to ever replicate.

Please join me in congratulating Neil on his very worthy honour!
