Kings play Flames and Raiders collide with Royals tonight
Beverage giants Banks DIH has thrown its support behind the Linden Amateur Basketball Association’s yearend Christmas Basketball Championship, which will be known as the Malta Supreme Magnificent Seven Championship, involving the seven Linden clubs affiliated to the Association.
The championship, which tipped off last night when Wismar Pistons played Amelia’s Ward Jets in the lone game at the MSC hard court, continues this evening with a double header as Kashif and Shanghai Kings play Block 22 Flames in the first game at 19.00hrs, while the night cap brings together Retrieve Raiders and Victory Valley Royals.
On Friday afternoon Outdoor Events Manager of Banks DIH, Mortimer Stewart, informed that his company was proud to support the development of basketball, which according to him, “…is a vehicle that can channel the energies of young players in the right direction with this kind of support.”
Stewart was at the time giving his thoughts as he presented the trophies for the first second, third and fourth place teams along with replicas, Most Valuable Player, Best Defensive Player and Most Disciplined team trophies at Trophy Stall on Friday afternoon.
He said Banks DIH was pleased with the efforts of the LABA to promote the sport in the town and as one of the key beverage companies in Guyana they felt it necessary to give back to the development of sports.
Secretary of the LABA, Joseph Chapman, thanked Banks DIH for their major support of this championship which comes at a time when very little is on offer for sports fans in the area particularly during the Christmas season.
He promised a well executed tournament and one that fans will love because of the keen rivalry that has been seen recently among the contesting teams.
The tournament he said is being played on a round robin basis with the top four teams advancing to the semifinals on Boxing Day and the final is set for December 30 at the tournament venue the MSC hard court.
The tournament is being played on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays with the first game at 19:00hrs and second at 21:00hrs.
Where is the BETTER MANAGEMENT/RENEGOTIATION OF THE OIL CONTRACTS you promised Jagdeo?
