The Breakers are returning to Pukekohe after confirming they will hold an Australian Basketball League pre-season game at Franklin Pool and Leisure Centre next month.

The Breakers will take on the Illawarra Hawks on Saturday September 10 from 6pm at the home of the Franklin Bulls.

It represents the second time the Auckland club has visited the venue, after bringing a regular season game there in 2021.

It will be a busy sporting weekend for Pukekohe with the Supercars Championship making its final visit to Pukekohe Park Raceway and the Counties Manukau Steelers playing at home on the same night.
