Binang set sights on league double

Early last month, BDF Cats and national team goal attack Hilda Binang set out to capture her third My Spar, My Netball League title. Her mission was successful as they dismissed TASC to win the coveted league championship.

The teenage sensation has now shifted her focus to winning another title albeit in a different sport – basketball. This is just three months into her fling with hoops; and history is already beckoning her. It all started when she was asked by BDF V’s basketball coach to help the team because of her height. Since then, she has never looked back. In fact, she has become a vital cog in the army side, the same way she has been for the netball outfit. At this point, her biggest inspiration is the prospect of winning two national titles in two different sports.

“I know I would have made history if I win the championship in basketball, having won it in netball,” says the Cats dynamo. The first time she took a hop on the courts was in September this year.  She is clearly spellbound by the experience: “I’m finding it extremely exciting.”
