For the Masters, the former Ravens combination, Lugard Mohan and Aubrey Younge continued to get it done with 21 points and 12 points in that order.
Earlier, Linden’s Victory Valley Royals defeated Melanie Patriots 108-72 with Chris Williams scoring 28 points and Marlon Adams 24 points. Marlon Pollydore had 18 points as Ron Beckles and Bonny Wilson scored 13 points apiece for Royals.
