Sharjah and Jordan Clubs dominate basketball

Sharjah and Jordan Clubs dominated the basketball event of the Arab Women Sports Tournament 2018 (AWST) here Saturday. Jordan's Fuheis Club looked serious contenders for the final as it brushed aside and outplayed Somali Mogadishu team with a 95-49 win, and with a score of 90-30, Sharjah Women's Sports Club, one of the competition's powerhouses, stormed past Saudi Arabia's Jeddah United. In a much tighter game, Egyptian Sporting Club got into its stride against Kuwait's Girls Club to end up winner at 87-71, in a match that see-sawed from quarter to quarter, with Kuwait winning two of the 15-minute periods. And although it constantly looked like being in contention, it failed to keep up the momentum as the Egyptians began to pull away in the fourth quarter. Jordan's Fuheis Club will be brimming with confidence after its stunning performance which left the Somali team looking decidedly downbeat. As a reflection of their outstanding team play, every member of the Jordanian squad found scoring opportunities, while the Mogadishu club relied almost solely on Balqees Abdul Aziz who walked away with a tally of 25 points, more than half of her team's overall score. Sharjah Women's Sports Club produced an overwhelming display for its 60-point victory over Saudi Arabia's Jeddah United. In a merciless and unceasing wave of attacks the Sharjah club looked in a different league to their opponents who will not only be looking to regroup, but re-build after such a one-sided match.
