Friday, May 27 – DC Jammers vs. Colts (National Club Champions). President’s College battle Marian Academy in the undercard.
The school games are all Under-19 games, but will feature some of the best U-16 prospects as Guyana continues to prepare to host the Caribbean Basketball Confederation (CBC) U-16 Championships in July.
The games start at 6:30 pm each night with admission being $1000 for Adults and children 12 and under free; the GABF said that Entertainment will also be a feature of each night.
