– Competition continues tonight with double-header
Wortmanville/Werk-En-Rust eased into the next round of the National Community Basketball League (NCBL) surviving an early scare from New Amsterdam in the first half of the game at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall Thursday night.
Wortmanville/Werk-En-Rust overcame a 15-point deficit in the first half to win 79-67 and thus advance to the knockout round of the nation-wide competition. Veteran forward, Naylon Loncke scored 18 points for Wortmanville while Delon Davidson added 14 points and Randy Burgess 11 points for one of the favourite teams to win the tournament.
The Wortmanville unit was surprised by the initial onslaught from New Amsterdam’s trio, Jarrel Aleyne, Carlos Crandon and Randy Richardson. The three players developed the early offensive momentum for New Amsterdam but struggled for second half sustenance.
Alleyne led the scoring with 19 points while former national players, guards, Randy Richardson and Carlos Crandon finished with 17 and 16 points respectively after Wortmanville upped their defensive tempo in the last two periods of the crucial game.
In the second game, Alpha/Bourda secured their first win of the competition with a 42-39 victory against Tucville/Guyhoc in a low-scoring defensive encounter. Jacob Lowe had 14 points for the Alpha/Bourda team while Earl O’Neil finished with 12 points for Tucville.
The competition continues tonight with Kwakwani taking on the West Side Boys in the first game while South Ruimveldt battles Plaisance/Vryheid’s Lust in the feature game at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall.
