Smythfield Rockers and Rose Hall Town Jammers to contest
All is set for the final, today of the second annual Anamayah Memorial Inter Club first division basketball
competition between seasoned campaigner and last year’s runner-up Smithfield Rockers of New Amsterdam and giant-killers Rose Hall Town Jammers of the Rose Hall Corentyne Area. The game is slated for the Area H Basketball Court, Rose hall Town, Corentyne.
The two teams in the final had their last practice on Friday and both are brimming with confidence. The stakes are even at the moment. Smythfield is the more seasoned and experienced team and has been in the final of most basketball competitions played in Berbice in the last few years, winning on a number of occasions. They will be expected to use their experience to advantage.
The Jammers has a few things going their way also. Home court advantage and crowd support will be two essential factors. The Jammers will also be brimming with confidence being the team that knocked out defending champion New Amsterdam Warriors from the tournament and will be going into the final with the same momentum.
Jump ball is 16:00 hrs. Cash, trophies and other incentives will be available for the winner and runner up teams, while outstanding individual players will also be presented with incentives.
Both teams have named their squad for the encounter – Rose Hall Town Jammers will be expecting to jam their opponents from every corner with the likes of Emon Wiggins, Antonio Islam, Percy Cort, Osafo Profit, Michael King, Kevin Wiggins, Troy Paul, Sherwin Murray, Troy Lashley, Kevin Deolall, Machel Lewis and David Hope.
The Smythfield Rockers invasion will be lead by Neil Wills, Jamal Felix, Robert Esseboom, Jason Fraser, Tyrone Dey, Denyson Fraser, Michael Bowen, Samuel Downer Sherwin Braithwaite and Kevin Patterson among others.
Personnel from the sponsors are expected to be in hand to do the tip off and help with the presentation ceremony immediately after. The tournament t is being coordinated by Vibert Garrett. (Samuel Whyte)
