– double header set for Monday at MSC Hard Court
The stage is set for the resumption on Monday of the 9th edition of the Linden Secondary Schools Under-19 basketball championship with a double header at the Mackenzie Sports Club Hard Court.
The tournament, which has five playing days remaining, had been temporarily suspended due to the inclement weather which came during the Linden Town Week and then the CSEC Examinations with a number of the playing students having to focus on their academics.
The Organising Committee of the Linden Amateur Basketball Association (LABA) met on Wednesday and in a statement said that with a break in the weather and CSEC exams nearing an end, play will resume.
Monday’s match’s bounces off at 14:30hrs with New Silvercity Secondary taking on Linden Foundation Secondary while at 16:00hrs Mackenzie High and defending champions Linden Technical Institute will face off.
Another double header is fixed for Wednesday when Linden Foundation Secondary play Wisburg Secondary followed by a clash between Christianburg/Wismar Secondary and New Silvercity Secondary.
On Friday next, New Silvercity and Mackenzie High will play from 14:30hrs with the final game in the preliminary round between Christianburg/Wismar and Wisburg.
Christianburg/Wismar, Multi and Wisburg are tied on six points each after winning their three matches played so far. Linden Foundation and Linden Technical Institute follow next on five points apiece after winning two and losing one game to date.
Mackenzie High remains winless after three games for their three points as New Silvercity occupy the cellar position on two points following two losses.
Meanwhile, the LABA will be holding a meeting with its Referees and Table Officials at 17:00hrs on Saturday (tomorrow) at the Mackenzie Sports Club Pavilion.
