Another weekend of intense basketball is expected when the Georgetown Amateur Basketball Association (GABA) Lens Craft first and third division leagues continue at the Burnham Basketball court.
The weekend of action will begin tonight with a double header.

In game one, Dyna’s Ravens and Bounty Colts will go head-to-head in a third division match-up.
Both teams suffered losses in their opening matches with the Ravens losing in double overtime to Courts Pacesetters while Colts went under to Pepsi Sonics in a one-sided affair.
Both teams are therefore expected to come out with guns blazing.

Ravens will be led by star point guard Binium Norton while Colts will rely on good coaching from Phillip George and an all-round team performance.

In the second game of the evening the Beepat Scorpions will try to sting Pepsi Sonics.
Sonics holds the upper hand having won the last encounter between the two sides.
But Coach Vijay Panday will probably not allow a repeat of their last meeting and has primed his Scorpions to sting their opponents.

Action is expected to bounce off at 1700hrs.
Games will continue tomorrow with Pepsi Sonics meeting Courts Pacesetters in a third division match up and Maccabees squaring off against Bounty Colts in first division action.
On Sunday Bounty Colts will face Maccabees in a third division encounter while Beepat Scorpions will match skills with the Nets.

The league will be played in a round robin format with teams being rewarded two points for every win and zero for a lost. The team with the most wins at the end of the competition will be crowned the league winners.
