Plaisance Guardians suffered their biggest loss with Colwin Nurse their best scorer with 8 points.

The champs faced off against the Master’s Basketball Club and won 63-60.
Ravens’ skipper, Dominic Vincente, dropped 19 points with Nikkolai Smith scoring 13 points in a ‘see-saw’ affair.
The champions led by a point, 9-8 after the first quarter but stretched the lead 23-19 at the half- way mark.
