AFTER two weeks off the court, Townsville Fire players have returned with plenty of motivation to get back on their court, with the WE ARE ROUND taking place this Saturday night.
While a few in the squad have played plenty of basketball in the last fortnight with the FIBA Olympic pre-qualifiers, the players that stayed behind did not get it easy.
They were worked overtime by coach Shannon Seebohm as he fine tuned the game plan ahead of the vital clash with Southside Flyers at Townsville Stadium.
The Fire are looking to secure their first win at home for the WNBL 19/20 Season.
