Central New Amsterdam maul Black Sharks

Dec 20, 2012 Sports

 

Play in the Banks DIH Classic Inter Club Basketball competition continued on Sunday with one of two scheduled games in Berbice. Central New Amsterdam playing their first game opened their account with an easy win as they drowned out the Fyrish Black Sharks to hand the Corentyne team their second loss in the five-team competition in the game which was played at the Fyrish Basketball court.
Central New Amsterdam took command from the start and never looked back as their players were constantly in the paint dunking baskets with ease to run away winners 53-35.  The leading scorers for the boys from New Amsterdam were Randy Caesar with a game high 19 points with support from Jevauhn Vanderstoop with 15.
The Black Sharks were totally at sea and lost their way early as they got totally tangled with none of their players reaching double figures.
The second game between Smythfield of New Amsterdam and Corentyne Jammers and scheduled for The Rose Hall Town Basketball court was not played due to unforeseen circumstances and has been scheduled for later date.
The competition will continue on Sunday 23rd December with two games. At the Fyrish court the Fyrish Black Sharks will be looking to redeem themselves with their first win in the competition when they play host to Jammers, while Rose Hall Town will be at home to Smythfield.  Both games are scheduled to get started at 16:00hrs.
Five teams are participating in the competition which is being played on a round robin basis. The top four teams will then advance to the semifinals which will see the team with the most points taking on the team third in the points standing and the second and fourth placed teams clashing for a spot in the final which is slated for Sunday 20th January at the New Amsterdam Basketball court.
The top four teams will all be presented with cash, trophies and other memorabilia while there will also be prizes for outstanding individual participants. The coordinator is Vibert Garrett.
