Gate receipts to aid Phillip ‘Scholar’ Gibbons for eye surgery

After winning their final two matches in the seven team round robin play in the Trophy Stall Regulation Open Basketball championship planned by the Linden Amateur Basketball Association, the Kashif and Shanghai Kings have qualified as the fourth team into the semifinals which are set for tomorrow at the tournament venue, the Mackenzie Sports Club Hard Court.
Tomorrow’s semifinals gate receipts will go towards assisting former national footballer Phillip Gibbons, the current Secretary of the Mackenzie Sports Club and considered a friend of the association, to cover medical expenses to be incurred from an eye surgery which is to be done soon.
The Kings wrapped up the preliminary round with a 67-46 win over Retrieve Raiders who they beat 67-46 as Steve Neils (Jr.) netted 22 points and Orin Rose 17 for the Kings.  Deval Wilson had nine and Nicky Barnes eight for the Raiders.
The Kings now take on the league leaders Bankers Trust Falcons in the second game tomorrow, while the first will see the Amelia’s Ward Jets, who finished second to the Falcons, taking on Retrieve Raiders on the first semifinal at 7:30pm.
Kings by virtue of their two wins ended on nine points after three wins and three losses, but advanced ahead of the Half Mile Bulls who had a similar record by virtue of them beating the Bulls.
However, the fight for the top three positions was determined by goal average as the Falcons, Jets and Raiders ended on 10 points each from four wins and two losses.
