AS time draws near, more businesses in Linden are coming on board to support this year’s New Era Entertainment basketball tournament, and yesterday proprietor Beresford Harry attached his entity B. Harry and Sons General Store and Lumber Yard to the event.

Harry made a cash contribution of an undisclosed sum, stating that apart from the organisers being very well known to him, he sees his involvement as part of helping the sport to grow in the mining town.
The tournament which features eight teams, all hailing from Linden, should provide players with a platform of playing in front of their supporters on a nightly basis in a well-organised event.
This is the first time Harry said, that his business is being affiliated to any major basketball tournament, though he has been doing his share in helping out in other areas in the Linden community.
Harry also mentioned that “it’s only fitting to support the people that support his business and helped it to blossom into what it is today”.
Kenrick Noel and Aubrey Major Jr, of New Era Entertainment thanked Harry for his contribution towards helping to make the competition a major success.
The tournament which is held in conjunction of the Linden Amateur Basketball Association (LABA) has Cell Smart as its major sponsor and will bounce off on March 9 at the Mackenzie Sports Club Hard Court.
