On Wednesday the in form Rose Hall Town Jammers took advantage of the Rose Hall Town combination by scoring a demoralizing 62-32 win in their game which was played at the Guysuco Training Centre Court. The victory took the unbeaten Jammers to the top of the table in their group and a place into the semifinal.
Fyrish Black Sharks with one win and a loss took the other position in that group with the winless Rose Hall Town losing out.
In another game played on Sunday at the Vryman’s Erven Basketball court in New Amsterdam, New Amsterdam Warriors came prepared for a battle with nemesis Smithfield Rockers and eventually won 42-32.
Neither team were prepared to take chances and both sides were very watchful as the first quarter ended in a 5-5 deadlock. The same trend continued in the second segment but the Warriors were able to up their game to take a two point lead to nose ahead 15-13.
Warriors seemed more determined and prepared to war as they upped their game to take a five point advantage at the end of the third quarter which ended 30-25.
The fourth quarter was all the Warriors’, as Rockers tried gamely to stay in the contest. In the end the Warriors ran away winners by 10 points 42-32.
National player Carlos Crandon was outstanding for the Warriors with a game high 14 points including nine from the three point range. Leroy Edwards supported with nine points.
Hugh Arthur scored eight, and Martin Witherspoon and Robert Esseboom with seven each top scored for Rockers.
The game was graced with the presence of the newly elected president of the Guyana Amateur Basketball Federation (GABF) Nigel Hinds and president of the Berbice Amateur Basketball Association (BABA) Mr. Keith Myers.
Mr. Hinds took the opportunity to congratulate the players and encouraged them to continue playing. He also presented a pair of sneakers to Coach of the Warriors, Kirk Fraser to give to a player of his choice. Whistles were also given to the referees who officiated in the game.
The competition is expected to continue tomorrow with New Amsterdam Warriors taking on East Canje Knights in what is expected to be a keenly contested game. A win for the Warriors will take them to the semifinals, while a win for the Knights will leave all three teams with one win each; the two with the best average going through.
