Due to unforeseen circumstances, Tuesday’s planned Inter-Secondary Schools five-a-side basketball championship for schools in Linden has been postponed to next Friday.
President of the Linden Amateur Basketball Association, Lawrence Simon, said it was unfortunate that the inaugural championship billed for the Mackenzie Sports Club hard-court today had to be put back due to problems outside the control of his Association.

He said the trophies have already been acquired for the event and thanked the sponsors so far for their faith in pulling off the event for school players in the under-19 age category.
He said the Education Department has been helpful in getting the schools to play in the event, but hopes that next Friday the players will get a chance to show their talent.
The schools invited to send teams are Christianburg Wismar Secondary, Wisburg, Harmony, New Silvercity and Linden Foundation Secondary Schools, and the Linden Technical institute.
