Titan Bowl and Tertiary Knockout tournaments rescheduled to start today

The Titan Bowl XIII and third staging of the Tertiary Knockout tournament, which were set to start on Thursday, will now begin today, Friday, December 13, and play on consecutive days to its conclusion on Monday, December 16, at the National Gymnasium, with the participation of 17 schools.
This announcement was made by Youth Basketball Guyana (YBG) Co-Director Chris Bowman as he confirmed that this decision was made following a request from the National Sports Commission to allow the futsal tournament that is ongoing at the National Gymnasium to continue on Thursday, December 12.
He Indicated, “Nevertheless, reluctantly, we have agreed to start a day later in order to avoid unnecessary conflict and the inconvenience of having to set up the playing area (twice) – moving the hoops into position, tape marking the court, court and facility branding, and sanitation protocols only to have this undo for futsal the next day, and then to do it all over again.

“We simply don’t have the resources, even to move the hoops into position. It’s a favour, courtesy of Philip Fernandes, sending workmen from John Fernandes Ltd to assist. Not to mention the burden this has already placed on the logistics of team travels, transportation, meals, accommodation, etc.”
The first game would see a rerun of the National Schools Basketball Festival Girls final four matches in which Kwakwani Secondary School took on President’s College and Kwakwani walked away victorious by a one-point margin followed by The Bishops’ High taking on Marian Academy.
This will mark the sixth and seventh tournaments for the year, along with the development academy and summer programmes organised by YBG for the year, and would not be possible without the sponsorship from lead sponsor Francis-LauBoyce Construction Co Ltd, ENET, John Fernandes, and the National Sports Commission.
