The final, Kadiogo Bull # RCK (2007-07-28)
We told it: it'll be hard to stop the falcons.
For the semi finals, they played against adesif of bobo dioulasso (ligue de l'ouest). It was hard for the players of coach SANOU. They lost the match by 50 points late. The falcons score 17 shoots at 3 points during the match.
The bulls had to stop the first team of Bobo (Dafra Rockets). Every body thougth that the Rockets will fall against the bulls (Mamadou SAWADOGO was back for the finals). It was not right. Appolinaire HIEN, Karim, Ismael SARA and their team mates (DAFRA) fight hard. Henry “The teacher” MENSAH, the old player had to play the entire match with the Bulls to win by 56-53.
For the final, we had Kadiogo Bulls # RCK.
It was not the big final we were waiting for. At any time, the bulls didn't show that they could win the match. From the beginning to the end of the match, the falcons dominated the game. The bulls leaded by the old player Henry “the Teacher” MENSAH, very technical tried to reduce the score. He was helped by Isaac PALENFO and the powerful Mamadou “Mike” SAWADOGO. But Innocent HIEN the little center of the falcons was the MVP of this final. He was back after two months (knee hurt). He decided to summarise all the competition to this match.
Score: 54-63; best scorer: Innocent HIEN (falcon)with 16 points
