CFMEU-Backed Basketballers Crowned National Champs

Victoria Metro took out the 2010 Ivor Burge National Basketball Championship held in Gawler, South Australia February 20-27. This made it a hatrick of titles for the team, following success in 2008 and 2009.

This year the CFMEU helped the boys get kitted out and the union logo was seen on the winners podium.

Congratulations to all the players and their support team, including coach, CFMEU member Garry Barker.
