Gliddon primed for Boomers homecoming

Bunbury-born and raised basketball star Cameron Gliddon has been included within a 17-man Australian Boomers squad for its upcoming international matches against the US and Canada in August.

The Boomers face Canada on August 16 and 17 at RAC Arena in Perth, before heading to Melbourne for a two game series against the US, which begins on August 22.

The Perth clashes will end a five year hiatus of international basketball in WA.
