Mayor’s Cup Under-21 basketball championship today

TWO deciding matches in this year’s Linden Mayor’s Cup Under- 21 basketball championship featuring Group C teams from the Christianburg Wismar Secondary and Linden Foundation Secondary at 14.30hrs and the other in Group B bringing together Mackenzie High and Harmony from 16.00hrs will be played this afternoon (Wednesday) at the Retrieve Hard Court.

These two matches will determine the teams advancing to the three-team playoff finals and the first game pits Christianburg Wismar Secondary ‘Multi’ against the Linden Foundation Secondary to go through, after both won their games against the Marcia Craig Educational Institute.

Christianburg Wismar gained a walkover victory over Marcia Craig, but Linden Foundation scored an easy win in their clash with Marcia Craig Educational Institute on Monday by a 51-27 margin.
Game two in Group B will see Mackenzie High who turned back the challenge of New Silvercity Secondary, facing Harmony who lost to New Silvercity Secondary. MHS, who will go through safely once they win this game, as Harmony are seeking an upset victory to force a FIBA Classification Rule determination, to have an unlikely chance of moving forward in this three team battle for a place in the playoffs finals.

Kwakwani Secondary will take on Linden Technical Institute for the top spot in Group A on Friday after beating Wisburg Secondary in their only game played so far, while Linden Technical Institute won their clash also against Wisburg Secondary.
This nine-team tournament was divided into three groups of three and the top teams are going through to three- team playoffs finals starting next Wednesday.
