Former South West Slammer Travis Durnin features for NBL1 West Select Team against Perth Wildcats

Former South West Slammer Travis Durnin featured for the NBL1 West Select Team as they took on the Perth Wildcats in a pair of games at the weekend. Durnin, who now plies his trade with Rockingham Flames, was one of 11 players from the State league given the opportunity to take on the Wildcats as they continue their preseason preparations. The representative outfit lost both games to their NBL opposition, with Durnin scoring five points in 12 minutes of play on Friday night and seven points in the same amount of court time on Sunday afternoon. Durnin averaged 11.3 points and 7.1 rebounds this season for a Flames side which finished the regular season on top of the ladder with an 18-2 record but went out at the semifinal stage. The 26-year-old has been a fixture in the Bunbury Senior Basketball League in recent years, averaging a league-leading 33.6 points per game last season as his Bulls Maroon side won the men’s competition. In between his basketball commitments, he has also managed to squeeze in seven games for Bunbury in the South West Football League this year, being one of the best players afield in his sole league appearance for the season against Harvey-Brunswick-Leschenault earlier this month.
