Bandar Seri Begawan - Welflex emerged champion in the KFC Fitness Zone 3-on-3 Street Basketball Challenge after defeating Spartan 19-15 in the Open Category final in a dramatic encounter last night before hundreds of spectators at the Airport Mall.
The Filipino outfit was trailing behind in numerous occasions to a resolute Spartan team but their stronghold on the final match was finally beaten after a superb "two-pointer double shot" from man-of-the-hour Mordeno, who swung the tide to their favour.
Welflex would score four more points without a reply in the last minute or so to clinch the title.
Third place in the Open Category went to Le Doux, which defeated Manong Lakey, who settled for fourth.
In the Student Category final, Easy Way overpowered Le Doux, 14-8, to secure the title. SGS Kings claimed third place at the expense of Beast.

In a fitting way to end the basketball action over the last three days, Wu Chun scored the final basket in an impressive win in a tie not short of exquisite shots.
The KFC Fitness Zone 3-on-3 Street Basketball Challenge was supported by the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports, Ministry of Home Affairs, The Airport Mall, Milo and Imperial Sports.
