The Guyana Amateur Basketball Association’s (GABA’s) First Division, Second Division and Under-23 leagues will continue at the Burnham Hard Court today from 18:30h with a double-header.
Part of last year’s action in the GABA/Banks DIH 2nd Division League
In the opening match, defending champions Bounty Colts are scheduled to take on the Pacesetters, while the Eagles will play the Trojans in the other battle, which is scheduled to tip-off at 20:30h.
The league commenced on September 1, with the first match between Plaisance Guardians and Dyna’s Ravens. Plaisance Guardians’ very own Nikkolai Smith, who recently came back from injury, scored a major 21 points, and was assisted by his captain, Marlon Chesney, who played his part by contributing 16 points; while Anton Fileen added 15.
Guardians eventually sank the Ravens 67-47. In their valiant effort to avoid defeat, Ravens received contributions from Tyrone Hamid (19) and Captain Dominic Vincente (13).
In the second match of the night, in the U-23 category, the UG Trojans were outgunned by Pacesetters 44-51 by the end of the third quarter, but it would seem that the rain was in favour of the Trojans, as it didn’t allow the match to proceed as planned. The game is to be rescheduled to another date.
The 10 teams in this tournament battling for top honours are: Colts, Ravens, Kobras, Guardians, Sonics, Nets, Eagles, UG Trojans, Pacesetters and Vikings.
Match days for games are Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
