Singh wants to get back to work

Jun 14, 2013 Sports

President of the Georgetown Amateur Basketball Association (GABA), Michael Singh said that he wants to get to his programme to develop basketball in the Capital City, but bad weather and the unavailability of the Sports Hall has affected his momentum.
Singh, who took office this year, immediately swung into action and completed two Leagues for Division I and Division III totalling over 100 games on the Burnham Basketball Court. He hoped to complete a Playoff among the top for teams before bad weather intervened.
In addition to inclement weather, Singh could not have opted for the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall (CASH) because the court there is currently under rehabilitation. The Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports have not formally announced a completion deadline.
“I’m eager to get back to work; to use the recent Standings to run some competitive basketball as the interest in the sport gradually came back during the League, which was faced with a lack of sponsorship and interest from the basketball community,” Singh said.
“I just want to indicate that we’re not dormant, but faced with weather issues and the unavailability of the CASH, basketball at a competitive level is somewhat sidelined until July,” Singh believes.
He reassured that the Playoffs are still on the GABA agenda as well as competitions for the third and first divisions. Singh reiterated his commitment to returning basketball to a prominent place in Georgetown and in Guyana once he gets the necessary support.
