NCN Linden Manager elected Jets President
– to contest top LABA post
National Communication Network (NCN) Linden Branch Manager, Andrew McBean was elected President of the Amelia’s Ward Jets Basketball Club, when that body held its Annual General Meeting (AGM) and Elections over the weekend.
Jets was recently ranked number one in Linden and with plans to move the club forward, the elections were held to help the club become structured and marketable.

McBean will have Gary Smith as his Vice-President, Swain Ross as Secretary, Dion David as Treasurer and Rawle Toney as the Organising Secretary. Kevin Joseph, Allister Webster and Sabrina Rampersaud were named as the three committee members.
The newly formed executive will hold its first meeting today to plan the way forward and to put proposals from the AGM into perspective. It is their aim to be a model for the other basketball clubs in Linden.
Meanwhile, apart from being at the helm of his club, McBean has publically declared that he will contest the upcoming Linden Amateur Basketball Association (LABA) elections.
“Being in the sport and seeing what is going on, I think more can be done for the sport,” McBean said, further adding, “I know there is a challenge of available resources and I know that there are people willing to invest in the sport.”
“What I am hoping to do is to provide a more consistent stage for the players to showcase their talent since Linden is a rich basketball community along with developing youths,” he continued in a release from the club yesterday.
The NCN Linden Manager is the only person to step forward so far to express an interest in the post following LABA President, Captain Eon Murray’s resignation.
