Seven battles slated for CASH this weekend

AS teams prepare to make a final push for a place in playoff stage of the One Guyana Basketball Premier League, the Guyana Basketball Federation is hosting 7 clashes this weekend at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall.

Today (Saturday) will see six teams taking to the courts.

Firstly, Kwakwani Untouchables meet Pacesetters at 17:00hrs.

Untouchables are still in playoff contention with three wins in six games while Pacesetters are all but sure of advancing as they have won seven games in eight outings thus far.

The latter also has form on their side.

Next, Nets who have had a decent run this season with four wins in eight games should have an easy battle when they face Black Caimans.

The Caimans have struggled this year with one win in nine clashes and are desperate to finish the regular season strong.

Stabroek Eagles close off the evening’s matches battling Kings.

Eagles continued where they left off last season with another unbeaten run as they have won all nine of their games to top the Jaguar’s Conference and earn a place in the playoffs.

On Sunday Panthers will line up against Bounty Colts.

Colts, a former club champion are within touching distance of the playoff (in fourth) and will need to put away Panthers who have a horrible record of one win in eight with seven losses.

Royal are two wins behind leader Eagles with University of Guyana Trojans also on seven wins for third.

Masters who play Untouchables, are a group of veteran players but have five wins in eight games and will need to bring their A-game to beat untouchables.

Nets get into action again this time against Kings from Linden who have stuttered with one win in seven clashes, while Nets picked up four wins and four losses in their season so far.

Guyana Defence Force meet Victory Valley Royals who are holding the second spot on the table with one loss in eight matches with seven wins.

GDF have however had a tough time with three wins in seven with four losses.

The league is sponsored by the Ministry of Culture Youth and Sport and National Sports Commission.

It is set to conclude in May and features 22 teams evenly split in the Jaguars and Harpy Eagles conference.

The teams are drawn from all across the country and are battling for bragging rights, top dollars and the coveted trophy.
