Final scores in the match saw Pacesetters, who played undefeated throughout the tournament, winning 68-52.

The victors Marlon Anderson and Delon Daniels ended with 16 and 12 points respectively.

For Bounty Colts, Dexter Walcott and Floyd Arthur each contributed 14 points.

The team dedicated the game to fallen club member Kevin Worrell who tragically lost his life last year October when the association held a knockout tournament to mark the opening of its league.
The presentation of prizes will be done upon completion of the league since they are several games left to be completed.

Meanwhile, on the same night, Courts Pacesetters senior team was also victorious beating Maccabees 94-80. Travis Burnett was in superb form netting a game-high 24 points while Stefan Gillis had 23 and Royston Siland 15.

Sunday night’s first division fixture involving Beepat Scorpions and Panthers was rained out.

The GABA said that given the fact that several games have to be replayed because of the stoppage due to rain, games will now be played Wednesdays through to the weekend.
