Smythfield hand Rose Hall first loss, Fyrish Black Sharks devour Corentyne Jammers

As play in the current Banks DIH Classic Inter-Club Basketball Competition continues in Berbice there were wins for Smythfield Rockerfeller and Fyrish Black Sharks.
In a closely contested encounter played at the Rose Hall Town Basketball Court, Smythfield Rockerfeller travelled to Rose Hall Town to hand the home team their first loss in a match which went down to the last buzzer in a 43-42 nail-biter.
Michael Bowen in his first game bucketed 19 points, while most of his teammates assisted with a few baskets of their own with Jamal Felix standing out in a good all-round performance.  No player was dominant on the Rose Hall team as their effort which was led by Eon Wiggins and Delbert Hicks came up short. In the other game, Fyrish Black Sharks found their range and depth to drive fear in their opponents before out maneuvering Corentyne Jammers and gulping them down 43-23 in a lopsided contest.  For the Black Sharks, Rayel Franklin’s 21 points and Linden Joseph 12 points shut the Jammers out with their performances.  For the Corentyne Jammers, Troy Paul squeezed in nine points.
The competition will continue tomorrow with two more games 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 finals which is slated for Sunday 20th January at the New Amsterdam Basketball Court.
The top four teams will all be presented with cash and trophies while there will also be prizes for outstanding individual participants. The coordinator is Vibert Garrett.   (Samuel Whyte)
