Courts Pacesetters to gauge preparations

Dec 10, 2008 Sports

By Edison Jefford
One of Georgetown’s premier first division clubs, Courts Pacesetters have vowed to step up preparations ahead of Sunday’s intriguing clash with Dyna’s Ravens compliments of Accomplished Entertainment’s Fashion Show.

The showdown between Georgetown’s top two teams will headline a packed evening of events that include a Miss Accomplished Fashion display at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall that is expected to commence at 7pm.

Pacesetters’ Head Coach and former national coach, Robert ‘Bobby’ Cadogan wants his important individual players to register impressive performances ahead of the game as that will have to get them past rivals Ravens.

“Rain is currently hampering our scheduled practice. That means that the guys will have to up their individual performances and we will get through,” Cadogan told Kaieteur Sport after visiting Burnham Court yesterday.

The coach is relying on the exposure of the team in the ongoing Georgetown Basketball League for enough groundwork. Ravens are currently undefeated in the League while Pacesetters have lost one game.

“Ravens have always been our rivals. These two teams (Ravens and Pacesetters) always manage to bring out the best in each other,” Cadogan observed, adding that the contest between them is more mental than physical.

The winner of the feature male game will collect $100,000 and a trophy while a Linden combined female team is expected to take on a Georgetown compilation for a $50,000 purse in a supporting encounter.

In addition, the winner of the newly introduced 20/20 competition gets a trophy and a gift voucher. This is in an individual event between three players and the winner must score six three–pointers and two two-points to win.
