One of the Hunter's biggest basketball rivalries returns as the Maitland Mustangs take on the Newcastle Falcons in an NBL1 East double-header.
The Maitland Mustangs take on the Newcastle Falcons at the Mojo Homes Centre this Saturday, 18 July, in one of the Hunter's biggest basketball rivalries. It's an NBL1 East double-header, so you're getting two games for the price of one, with the Mustangs and Falcons facing off in the main feature.
If you've followed the NBL1 East this season, you know the Mustangs and Falcons are two of the region's heavyweights. When they meet, it's more than just another game on the calendar; it's a local derby that brings out the best in both sides. The rivalry runs deep across the Hunter, and seeing them go head-to-head in a double-header means the intensity stays high across the whole afternoon.
Being a double-header, the action doesn't stop after the first game. You'll get two full contests back-to-back, so it's a long stretch of basketball rather than a single match. If you're a fan of the league, it's a good way to see a lot of the competition in one sitting, and if you're just coming for the rivalry, it gives you plenty of time to settle in and watch how the game unfolds.
