Intense rivalry anticipated in Colts/Ravens matchup in Mecca final
The stage is set for the final of the Road to Mecca V Basketball Championship between two-time defending champions, Bounty Colts and Ravens. The match will be played at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall today from 19:00 hrs while the third place playoff pits Royals Basketball Club against Cobras.
President of the Guyana Amateur Basketball Federation Nigel Hinds said today’s final is going to be special.
“I know there has been a lot of back and forth on social media among the teams competing at the top but it is good for the sport, as it is a form of advertising and it has built up an intense rivalry,” said the former national player.
Colts he said, is a very strong club which has reigned supreme over the last two years but now Ravens has risen from the ashes after dominating basketball for about five years and like the proverbial Phoenix wants to fly again.
The GABF President said he wished both teams the best on the night as it is going to be a very competitive game.
Vice President of the Guyana Amateur Federation and President of Bounty Colts Michael Singh, said he is confident of his team retaining the title for a third consecutive year.
“We are expecting quality basketball, Ravens has always been the club that Colts was primarily built to beat”.
