Kevin ‘2feet’ U23 tournament…Wins for Royals and Flames

AFTER winning their first matches, Victory Valley Royals and Block 22 Flames continued their winning streaks as the Kevin ‘2Feet’ Joseph and Team 13 organised Under 23 basketball tournament continued Wednesday night at the Amelia’s Ward Hard Court.
In the first game Wednesday, which was rescheduled from last Saturday due to heavy rain, Block 22 Flames rallied their way after an initial tussle to win against the Ameila’s Ward Jets.
The scores were knotted 13-13 after the first stanza but the all-round play by the Flames allowed them the chance to beat Jets, as they led at half time 26-19.
When the third quarter ended it was 38-30 in the Flames’ favour as they staved off a late surge from the jets to triumph 46-45.

Roydon Fraser with 12 points was their best scorer with support coming from Jonathan Clarke and Kester Albert, both getting eight points as Jumane Reynolds added seven for the winners.
Meanwhile the Victory Valley Royals also won comfortably against Retrieve Raiders 75-61.
The victory came from Emmanuel LaRose’s 23 points, Kobe Tappin with 22 and Ratkin McDonald with nine.
The Raiders top shoots were Shemar Savoury with 15 points, John Anthony 10, and Neil Marks (Jr.) nine.

Five club teams are competing for the final four slots as the team with the worst record after this initial round robin play will be eliminated.
Those clubs are Central Mackenzie Kings, Royals, Raiders, Flames and Jets.

Two more matches are slated for this round robin preliminary round tonight to determine the final four.
In the first game at 18.30hrs Central Mackenzie Kings take on Amelia’s Ward Jets and the second at 20.30hrs brings together Retrieve Raiders and Block 22 Flames.
