LABA looking to host League Finals tonight
– tomorrow set as alternative date if it rains
The Linden Amateur Basketball Association (LABA) is hoping that the weather is much more favourable than it had been in the past days so that it will be able to host the much-anticipated Division I League Finals at the Mackenzie court.
Current National Division I Club Champions, Wismar Pistons and Kings are expected to play in the final following a clash between Victory Valley Royals and Raiders in the third place playoffs of the event that rain had affected.
Bad weather had consistently forced the LABA to adjust its programmes because of the susceptibility of the outdoor venue to rain. The final was originally set for last Saturday night, but the association was forced to postpone after sudden rain.
Organising Secretary of the LABA, Ashton Angel told this newspaper briefly yesterday that the finals is fixed for tonight, but if it rains, they will reschedule for tomorrow night. He did not give an alternative beyond tomorrow night.
Kings has senior players, centre Jason Alonzo, forward Marvin Hartman and guard Steve Neils Jr. to give them the impetus against Pistons. They have gone through some amount of rebuilding and will be keen to prove they are number one.
Pistons are the National Club Champions since winning the competition three years ago, and will look to its usual performers, Quincy Jones, Trevor Profit and guard Nevin Grenville to help them conquer the mighty Kings.
Banks DIH has sponsored the $100,000 first place award while second, third and fourth places are to receive $60,000, $40,000 and $20,000 from the LABA respectively.
