GABA/Wilson Plumbing Service U23 league…

THE Georgetown Amateur Basketball Association on Saturday brought the curtain down on its U-23 basketball league sponsored by the Wilson Plumbing Service and General Supplies, held at the National Gymnasium Hard Court, with Bounty Colts taking home the title.

The Colts, who had been one of the most dominant senior club sides in the city, showed their youth programme is still as vibrant as they got the better of Kwakwani Untouchables.
Bounty Colts pipped the first period 17-16 in what looked set to be thriller as the two teams went toe to toe with shots.

Colts started well after Shannon Wilson and Charles Williams shot the ball effortlessly after tip-off, but Kwakwani’s Kelon Phllips was equally as good to keep his side in the contest.
In the second half, Colts’ Carmelo Man-Son-Hing started to find his own before finishing with 17 points in the game; his stride handing his team a three-point lead at the half, 36-33.
The game was by no means done as Kwakwani fought back valiantly in the third to turn the game on its head and take a one-point lead, 54-53.

Kadeem Dover would do the job for Kwakwani with 20 points with 10 from Travis Lewis in their comeback effort.
Colts’ Wilson, who had 14 in the contest and Williams with 23 showed poise and skill to stave off Kwakwani in the final period, as they ended the fourth quarter 23-21 to take the one-point victory 76-75.
Meanwhile, the third-place contest also proved a close clash as Prospect Kobras defeated North Ruimveldt Ravens 56-55.

Elijah David was the top player for Kobras with a game-high 26 points with Ronnel Campbell also adding 15 points in the win.
Ravens skipper Alroy Nurse played well for his 21 points in a losing cause.

Colts’ Charles Williams for his awesome performance was adjudged the most valuable player by the organisers with his Colts team collecting the MVP trophy. Man-Son-Hing won the clutch player of the tournament award.
Next up for GABA is the senior clubs league alter this year.
