Warriors conquer Black Sharks in close encounter

Jun 04, 2015 Sports

New Amsterdam Warriors made sure that their travel was not in vain as they used the opportunity to defeat host Fyrish Black Sharks in a close contest when play continued in the NPG Inter Club Basketball competition for teams in Berbice.
The game which was played on Sunday at the Fyrish Basketball Court was intense from the start with the lead changing hands constantly.
It was the NA Warriors that took the early lead to end the first quarter with a slim one point lead 20-19. The second quarter was more of the same with the game continuing to change lead. However it was Sharks that surged back to end the half with a one point advantage at 31-30.
The Warriors, being rejuvenated after the half time, came out fighting and dominated the third quarter to end with a handsome 54-44 lead. Not to be outdone Black Sharks dwelling in familiar territory worked the court nicely and with a burst of energy fought back for all its worth, but their effort was a little too late and they ended two points adrift to lose 65-67.
The consistent Randy Ceasar with a game high 35 points led the way for the NA Warriors, while he was supported by Kelvin Tom 15 and Edmar Semple 10.
The main contributors for the Black Sharks were Joel Fraser 30, Linden Joseph with 15 points and Royel Frankly with 7.
The competition continues on Sunday with Smithfield Rockers taking on Ithaca Hardliners at the Ithaca Basketball court from 16:00 hrs.
The competition is being coordinated by Vibert Garrett.  (Samuel Whyte)
