Blockbuster trades create stage for grudge rivalries when Bulls take on Royals

Some key trades ahead of the opening matches of this year’s Brusches’ Classic eight team knockout tournament has caused basketball fans to anticipate some mouth-watering matchups tonight as the leading clubs in Linden begin their quest for the $200,000 top prize at the Mackenzie sports Club hard court.
The double header will see the first game at 7.00pm featuring the Wismar teams, Half Mile Bulls, just off reaching a nationwide basketball final, taking on Victory Valley Royals.
On paper the Bulls will field a side led by the most promising young player in the country Terron Welch a shooting guard who will be supported by a cast of players such as Dennis Niles, Travin Dryden, if available, with the ever improving Michael Turner all with junior national experience and experienced centre Shane Lewis.
They are up against the Royals led by an equally dangerous outside scorer in Chris Williams who has national experience and will be joined by two ball handling forwards in Harold Adams and Orlando Glasgow as their spearheads.
This game will be followed by the Mackenzie teams collision where Jets will see the likes of the Webster clan in Allister, Joel and Domain along with Amaniki Archibald, the experienced Neil Simon and the additions of shooting guard Orin Rose and power forward Omally Sampson who were trades from the Kings.
But their opponents the Retrieve Raiders will be led by returning power forward Dwayne ‘Brown’ Sugar’ Roberts and fellow former national in Neil Marks, while they have benefitted from the acquisition of one of Guyana’s best basketball knowledgeables in Abdulla Hamid a former national player and coach and Marvin Hartman a former national player also. They will guide a young cast which should include Dwight McKinnon and Geoffrey LaRose both former junior nationals as they seek to stop the Jets in their game at 9.00pm.
The LABA recently passed the FIBA Recommended Misconduct of a Player and as such sanctions will come into effect along with the already set LABA Internal Rules and Regulations, meaning that these games should see a more stringent manner of play regarding the conduct of players generally.
The fact that it will be a Linden/ Georgetown final, promises much for seeing the best of the Linden teams on show tonight.
The competition continues on Georgetown on Tuesday when Ravens take on Plaisance Guardians and the other game is between Pacesetters and Colts. This matchups will be key to the outcome as both sides seek a place in the semifinals.
