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.
