United States of America based Brusches Basketball Foundation in partnership with Escalade Sports entity has donated two uprights and a pair of backboards towards the Amelia’s Ward Hard-court which is now under rehabilitation.

The presentation was conducted on behalf of both entities by Clyde ‘Fatman’ Brusche, the Linden representative of the Brusches Basketball Foundation on Monday. According to a release, several members of the Amelia’s Ward Jets club, as well as residents of the community, were present at the handing over ceremony.

“The donation will now pave the way for basketball to return to the Amelia’s Ward community where some upgrade work has started,” the release stated.

Clyde Brusche took the opportunity also to hand over a basketball to one of the upcoming players in the Amelia’s Ward community for use by players there. This is not the first donation for basketball in Linden from the Brusches Basketball Foundation which is headed by former national players Mike, Clifton and James Brusche who are all residing in the United States of America.”
