… Colts to face Royals in key clash

By Joe Chapman

THE Ansa McAl Trading’s Magnum Tonic Brand will this Saturday lend major support to the Linden Amateur Basketball Association‘s ‘Reload Basketball Meets Fashion’ affair starting 19:00hrs at the Mackenzie Sports Club.
President of LABA Lawrence Simon said that the first edition was seriously hampered by the inclement weather forcing the Georgetown side Ravens not to appear in the main event of the night but all assurances are given that this time things should be different.
The Linden versus Georgetown clash of the titans would be witnessed as well as a replay of the Under-20 East versus West encounter while fashion designers Ms Setra Oselmo and Crystal Lam will have their displays on show.
The idea, Simon says, is to include fashion as part of what should be an entertaining night and to attract not only basketball fans but also to present some of the best designers in the town.
And as was seen three Saturdays ago there will be the stars meeting on the court and among the attraction will be top field national athlete Chantoba Bright who was named Sportswoman for 2017 by the organisers. She graced the court in a beautiful gown as part of the fashion displays.
Bright did brighten up things on a bleak night and she, among others, will be showcasing clothing designed by two of Linden’s brightest designers.
The Under-20 basketball clash would see the West, led by Yannick Tappin, try to turn things around and beat their East rivals.
Several trophies and awards will be given out and lots of giveaways will be distributed on a night when several of Linden’s brightest sports prospects will be seen on the basketball court.
A 3-on-3 basketball Girl’s match is also planned and as such the night promises much for basketball fans when Georgetown’s Bounty Colts, the national club champions, face their Linden counterparts Victory Valley Royals in what should be an exciting affair.
