GABA Christmas Season Update: Division I and III Leagues enter fourth round

Dec 04, 2008 Sports

The Georgetown Amateur Basketball Association (GABA) Division I League and Kevin Worrel Lens Craft Division III League Championships have entered the fourth round of competition ahead of next weekend’s break.

General Secretary of GABA, Robert Cadogan yesterday updated Kaieteur Sport as to the status of both Leagues, informing that they have entered the fourth round on schedule in wake of a lull for the Christmas Holidays.

“There are seven teams in the third division League and eight teams in the first division League, which means that the Division III League has six rounds and the Division I League seven rounds,” Cadogan explained.

According to Cadogan, Ravens is the only unbeaten club in the Division I League while Courts Pacesetters are undefeated at the Division III level. Both Leagues are staged in tandem at the Burnham Basketball Court.

Cadogan said that there was a disciplinary issue that resulted in the suspension of two players while three others were placed on probation. He said that the move highlights the association’s strong position on discipline.

“We are beginning to see improvement of teams and players because basketball is being played. We don’t want to spoil what’s happening so we try to maintain strong discipline,” the GABA General Secretary noted.

The Basketball Retreat in October and the two League competitions are the first babies of the new GABA Executive that Trevor Rose heads. The body had embarked on a mission to take back basketball to the Burnham court.

The task was immediately met with challenges such as poor lighting at the facility, which forced the GABA into its depleted pockets while the issue of sponsorship remains an issue for the Division I competition.

After the break next weekend, the competition will continue in January with the top three teams in the Division I contest scheduled to get cash incentives (and trophies) and leading Division III teams trophies alone.
