A male basketball contingent of five departed Guyana’s shores early Thursday morning as they head over to St Lucia for the International Basketball Federation (IBF) Lesser Antilles Under-18 Finals.
As basketball continues to grow in Guyana, its expansion has been taken to the Regional-level once again due to the Guyana Amateur Basketball Federation (GABF) having qualified to participate after a marvellous run of late.
