Basketball action returns to the National Gymnasium on Mandela Avenue in Georgetown today – Saturday, March 2 – with playoffs of the “One Guyana” Basketball tournament continuing as a doubleheader, the first jump ball of which is set for 19:00hrs.
An exhilarating showcase of basketball is expected. The first game of the night will see action in the Jaguar Conference, as Stabroek Eagles will look to continue their unbeaten streak in hopes of securing their place in the next round. They will come up in a three-match series against an outfit of experience and youth in Bounty Colts.
The last game of the Harpy Eagles Conference Finals will close off the night’s proceedings in a do-or-die matchup for both teams, as the Kwakwani Untouchables look to maintain their dominance over Kitty/ Campbellville Ravens.
At the Conference Finals, teams will play the best-of-three games to determine who advances to the National Finals. The team winning the tournament would receive $1M along with trophies, while the runner-up team would receive $500,000 plus trophies.
The tournament was made possible by sponsorship from the Culture, Youth and Sport Ministry; G-Boats Guyana; National Sports Commission; Guyana Basketball Federation, and Georgetown Basketball Federation.
