Bendigo Spirit General Manager, Dan Jackson, said the team were excited to visit another local Victorian community who were passionate about basketball.  

“Shepparton is an area which had been highlighted as one that could really do with some engagement with our club,” Jackson said.

“It’s a continuation of our effort to expand our base around regional Victoria. Shepparton Basketball have been fantastic to work with so far and we’re excited to experience what another regional Victorian town has to offer.”
