The rumble of wheels with a clash of metal accompanied by the distinctive basketball swish will be heard in the Queen Elizabeth Youth Centre today.

Tauranga is hosting round two of the Northern League Wheelchair Basketball Tournament.

From 9am, eight teams, split into two divisions, from as far as Northland and Taranaki will take to the courts as part of the four round competition.

BayTrust Coachforce Parafed development officer Zane says the sport is similar to able–bodied basketball where the size of the court, hoops and balls are all the same.

The only difference is that a player must dribble the ball every two pushes of their wheelchair; otherwise that player will be called for travelling.

Adding to the day long hype is a mixed team exhibition, scattered with a a number of New Zealand Wheelchair basketball representatives, at 1.45pm.

'So if people want to come down and watch a match that's probably going to be the one I'd say.”

Round Two of the Northern League Wheelchair Basketball Tournament gets underway at 9am Saturday with the final tip off at 3pm. Entry is free.

Also happening today is the Seriously Good Food Show at the ASB Arena.

More than 130 exhibitors will showcase their products, from Papamoa sausages to cheese and wine.

The Seriously Good Food Show is a seriously good opportunity to sample the best of the region's produce and preparation.

It runs Saturday and Sunday at ASB Arena, Baypark. Open 10am to 5pm daily.
