March Madness in Vigo: VGO Basket and Seis do Nadal in Liga EBA (2017)

This photographic report records two Liga EBA games played in Vigo on the first weekend of March 2017: Seis do Nadal against COB at Navia and VGO Basket against Nar贸n at As Travesas. These are my observations from that weekend, preserved as a historical account.

Two Vigo clubs in Liga EBA

Both newly promoted teams played at home and the same pair of referees officiated at the two matches. Seis do Nadal lost, while VGO Basket secured a close victory as it tried to move away from the relegation places.

The photographs below show the different settings: the newer Navia pavilion and the established As Travesas pavilion. For earlier context, read my 2015 account of VGO Basket and other basketball clubs in Vigo.
