Regular season wraps up this Sunday
THE Georgetown Amateur Basketball Association (GABA) One Guyana Premier League is reaching the business end of the competition and this Sunday following the final regular season matches, the playoffs matchups will be decided.
A total of three highly anticipated matches are set for the National Gymnasium basketball court this Sunday, and despite some of the players on show will be repping Guyana against a Suriname National Club champions the previous night, the matches will be played.
In the first match, which tips off at 17:00 hours, North Ruimveldt Black Caimans will match skills with Kwakwani Untouchables. In the second match that is scheduled to begin at 19:00 hours, Cummingsburg Bounty Colts will be pitted against McDoom/Prospect Kobras.
Meanwhile, the feature contest will see the exciting Eagles basketball club and University of Guyana Trojans going head-to-head.
During the regular season, teams from the Jaguar and Harpy Eagle Conferences faced each other twice within their respective groups. The top four teams will progress to the playoffs, where the first-ranked team will compete against the fourth-ranked team, and the second-ranked team will take on the third-ranked team. The victors of these playoff matches will move on to the Conference Finals, where they will engage in a best-of-three series to determine the finalists for the National Championship.
The championship-winning team will receive a prize of $1 million, along with trophies, while the runners-up will be awarded $500,000 along with trophies. The successful execution of this tournament has been made possible through sponsorships from the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport, G-Boats Guyana, National Sports Commission, and Georgetown Basketball Federation.
