After a really competitive 2017 Malcolm Guishard Memorial Basketball league, it has come down to just one more crucial match.
The two top teams: Defending champions and home team, CG Massives and multiple times champions, CG Rebels, have faced off twice in the best of three finals and each team has won one game.
It means therefore, that everything will come to a boil tonight-Tuesday 21st November, as the two teams face off in the final match.
Match time is 7 pm at the Church Ground Basketball court.
Both teams are confident of a victory and the CG Massives would be depending on their home court advantage and vociferous crowd support, while CG Rebels will be pulling out all of the stops possible.
