Jul 11, 2013 Sports

 

 

The newly formed Canje Knights Basketball club of East Canje continue to make waves on the Basketball courts in Berbice when they outplayed and out-maneuvered the seasoned New Amsterdam Warriors 50-44 to advance to the final of the going Berbice Basketball Association (BBA) first division Top Six Mackeson Basketball competition being played at the Vryman’s Erven Basketball Court in New Amsterdam.
Playing in their first senior tournament, having won the first junior tournament they participated in earlier in the year, Canje Knights showed good maturity to advance with only one loss during the preliminary stage.
The tournament, which is being sponsored by Beverage giants Ansa McAl Guyana Limited, saw the Knights going to war with the Warriors and wresting a place in the final against the unbeaten Smythfield Rockers on a date to be announced at the Vryman’s Erven Court.
The competition will continue on with New Amsterdam Warriors next meeting Rose Hall Town Jammers in the final preliminary round game.  At stake in the competition is $80,000 for the winner and $20,000 for the second placed team among other incentives.  (Samuel Whyte)
