THE body of the late Andrew ‘Mr Dunk’ Ifill will return to Guyana next week, according to Michael Singh, president of the Guyana Amateur Basketball Federation (GABF), after which, funeral arrangements for the stand-out former National player will be made public.

According to Singh, the date of the arrival will be conveyed once all details are finalised by his parents who are in Trinidad at the moment.

Ifill, 40, succumbed at his place of employment in Trinidad and Tobago last weekend, with his death sending shockwaves through the basketball fraternity in the Twin Republic and Guyana.

Tomorrow, at the Maloney Indoor Sports Arena, the Basketball Federation of Trinidad and Tobago will host a memorial game in Ifill’s honour, since, according to the Federation, the Guyanese ‘baller’ was loved and respected on the island, and was considered by many fans as one of the best in the game.

Current and former T&T National players will converge on the Maloney facility from 17:00hrs to bid farewell to Ifill.
Singh also pointed out that locally, GABF will host a similar event, but all details will be made public after the return of his body to Guyana.
