FORMER National basketball back court player Dave Causway died on Tuesday, following a accident reportedly involving the vehicle he was in along the UNAMCO Road a few miles from Kwakwani, plunging the local basketball fraternity into mourning.
Originally from Kwakwani where he started to play the game, Causway was able to develop into one of the reliable backcourt players locally, reaching his pinnacle as a Senior National Player. He first represented Guyana at the junior level and was such an outstanding baller that he soon made his way into Guyana Senior National team.

He was coach of the Kwakwani Untouchables men’s team which performed well in the Georgetown Amateur Basketball Association (GABA) run ‘One Guyana’ League Championship. Causway was a key to the development of the Kwakwani teams which has dominated basketball at the youth levels in Guyana.

On his passing, when contacted, President of the Guyana Basketball Federation, Michael Singh, was saddened but offered: “The game of basketball has lost a Giant, a kid that played at various levels both for Guyana and overseas. He was the foundation piece for the Bounty Colts Basketball Club which gained number 1 status under his watch as a. player/ coach.

Causway’s exploits continued with shaping the KK Untouchables basketball team but he also worked tirelessly with youth players from his area.
Dave will be missed, I’m recommending him for the One Guyana League MVP, his hardwork needs to be remembered now and forever.”

In a terse comment, former President of the Guyana Amateur Basketball Federation (GABF), Nigel Hinds, said “The sad passing of Dave Causeway exposes the lack of a support system for athletes who have represented Guyana”
President of the Georgetown Amateur Basketball Association (GABA) and a vice president of the GBF, Jermaine Slater, posted on his Facebook page “Guyana’s Basketball lost a very good soul! Dave Causway and I were only recently planning female basketball in Kwakwani, a student of the game, Junior

national champion, club champion, Senior National player, coach, basketball lover.
This is a big big loss for Basketball in Guyana. Sleep in peace brother, until we meet again. Hold it up Kwakwani!”
