THE final of the Youth Basketball Guyana (YBG) inaugural Tertiary Basketball League is set for tomorrow afternoon at Cliff Anderson Sports Hall.

The battle for pride and bragging rights would be between the nation’s highest learning institution, the University of Guyana (UG), and its oldest technical and vocational institution, the Government Technical Institute.

Both teams have made strong claims to the first Tertiary Basketball Championship in the YBG era, with GTI continuing in the tradition of attracting great basketball talents from across the country, and the University showing the ability in leadership to make the right adjustments.

The championship clash is set to start at 18:00hrs.
Preceding the final will be the third-place game at 15:00hrs between two equally matched and talented teams: – Linden Technical Institute and New Amsterdam Technical Institute.
A special half-time performance by local artiste cKush in the final will no doubt be one of the highlights for fans.

Following the final, a trophy would be presented to the winners, plus medals and the prize of $100 000. The runners-up will receive $60 000, a trophy and medals, while third-placers will collect $40 000.
There will also be a prize for the most valuable player (MVP).
